Does anyone tried here to claim JSA?co'z i just did apply online i am currently looking for work so it say than you can claim now since you have no restriction anymore...i dont know i am not expecting to get a yes result from it, i just want to try it wont hurt anyway if i am turned down.

Last December I got my ILR and been to LOcal Jobcentre, I asked them if I am entitled to claim JSA if I lost my job. Me and hubby not working in tax credit.

The staff asked how much I earned in a year and she have seen my P60. She said I am qualified from January onward if I loose my job. She also said I need to earn at least 5000-6000£ before.

But luckily I'm still working

it is

but if you've not paid anything in, the only way you can get anything is the means tested way, having not much savings and/or your partner works less than 24hrs.

but if you paid in, then you can claim for upto 26wks and it dont matter how much savings you have or how many hours your partner worls

also there could be other benefits you can claim to
