Hello Noajthan and LilyLalilu

I have a quick question.

Back in 2011 when I arrived and when I couldnt find a job, I claimed JSA for 7 months. Can that be a problem?
I know that from 2014 onwards one could claim JSA for a maximum period of 6 months.

Thanks

Depends if HO plays hardball and applies their rules retrospectively.
One or two members have had such difficulties; they may have got sorted out after making representations and/or an appeal.

So it may be prudent to hope for the best but plan for the worst.
You will also have to show you were actively jobseeking (with evidence) rather than simply claiming JSA.

Hello Noajthan

Thank you for your reply.

I have compiled all my job applications, interview letters, rejection letters... I have loads of them.

Also my medical insurance has been sorted, though I know its not required when job seeking.

Lets see how it goes.

Thanks
