    JSA is payable to people who can demonstrate that they are looking for work. Contribution-based JSA requires you to have paid sufficient Class 1 contributions in the previous couple of years.

    I am actively seeking work but I think I dont qualify for a number of benefits as my partner and I have over the £16k (meant to be for mortgage deposit on new place).I think I would possibly get contribution based job seekers allowance.How many years do you need to qualify?Would I get this if my partner is working? Also should I sign on before my notice period ends?Any other benfits I can claim?
