Class 1 vs Class 3 NI credits (JSA/UC)
For context: {Edited because I'm not sure it's relevant now I have an answer} My question is, what (if any) advantage is there to claiming JSA along with UC?

Bank balance & UC
I'm worrying that because UC is paid monthly it might send my balance over £6000. I don't know how much I'm going to get yet but I'm used to fortnightly payments not monthly. I've worked it out based on if I get the same as ESA but obviously 4 weeks worth. Do I have to tell them if it goes over? Thanks

Inheritance
Hi, Further to my last post. I posted this in the savings board and they advised asking on here. They were of the opinion I'd be best placed using it for my mortgage and replacing furniture, carpets etc that are old. Which I could do as most of my things are old. They said Pay off debts but apart from mortgage I don't have…
