Reply to: new job and hate it ?

When between assignments I always ensure that I claim for JSA - if you have claimed before the procedure is in fact quick - apart from the 60 quid a week (every little penny helps you know!) it means your NI stamps are paid - and there are furhter benefits in terms of entitlement to free training courses, fares for job interviews being paid - also all the local leisure/sports facilities are free etc .

are you through a Ltd?

if so to claim JSA surely you have to sack yourself, then re-employ yourself when you get a new gig - too much trouble?

I thought JSA was Just Sitting on Arse, but then I realise Job seekers allowance yes?

I didn't claim JSA when off for 3 months this year. Didn't see the point and they wanted the in's and out's of a cats backside in information. Next time though, if only for the NI stamps i'll be straight round to sign on.

I carry on paying PAYE when on bench - seems to make sense to me....

Do you get JSA even if you have savings? I thought they wouldn't give you anything, not even the first 6 months, if you have savings...

[HermanDune]

lol i benched for 2 years and did not claim jsa i would not lower myself even if i never worked for 10 years.

Why were you unable to get a job for 2 years? Was it a conscious decision you made not to apply for jobs?

Yes, but the first six months of JSA are contributions based so I am assuming you would have been entitled to from your previous contributions.

After the 6 months it normally switches to income-based JSA.

Remember also that your Nat. Ins. stamps are paid when you sign on.

WTF did you do in your two years on the bench then!?

did a few Microsoft courses, but without real life experience in certain area`s you wont get the work.

[unemployed]

You now only get JSA for 6 months... then it's Income Support or whatever... unless of course you have more than £3k in savings...

i lost out on 1.5k sponge money then it sounds. whoop e doo

People like you are what's wrong with this country.

You think your clever because you have not sponged off the state but what you have in fact done is allowed useless government minsters to say they have one less unemployed person on the stats.

You should always claim it all the time. If you do not want to sponge just invest it in small ventures that may make you and someone else a living if they ever pull it off. Another small business won't impress voters at an election so, it's not much for the govt to claim.

There will always be spin governments, but lets not try and help them and then be stupid enough to think we are being clever about it!

i would not say i think i am clever,just not prepared to fill out millions of forms and tell them my business. or visit the jc every 2 weeks.
Had i met you 2 years ago you could of gladly collected the cash and ensure the stats and figures are correct on my behalf if that`s what floats your boat.
