Forgot to claim contributions based JSA

5 months have gone by since husband was made redundant. He has not claimed any contributions based JSA . Is it too late?

Thanks in advance.

    You can make a claim now, but it will not be backdated. Also, it will now be based on tax years 07/08 and 08/09, so you will need to have paid sufficient NI Conts in those years.
    Gone ... or have I?
  • Thanks. Will he get it for the next 6 months assuming he does not find employment?
