Bank interest after redundancy

money_money_6

I think you should forget the back-payment.
I was made redundant in March too and wanted to get the back payment as I didn't know I was entitled to job seekers at the time. Silly really. I heard through friends that it would be unlikely to get it.
I too have been told that I'm over qualified and will definitely play down my CV as MrsTine said.
I realise this isn't advice but just to say I know how you're feeling and I hope that things get better soon

For contributions JSA if you back date won't it just stop sooner, you get 6 months either way.

That's assuming the claimant hasn't found work in that time. They should be staying positive about getting work in the shorter term.
