JSA P45 does not match actual amount recieved?

8 Posts
Hi
I'm looking back through accounts, and for a while in 08/09 my partner and I were on Jobseeker's Allowance. We were claiming as a Joint couple, with all the benefit for both of us being paid to my partner.
We have P45s for the JSA - mine states no income, and my partner's states £1261.49 under Taxable Benefits.
However, I looked through our bank statements at the time, and we seem only to have been paid a total of £1112.28 for JSA.
It should not have been taxed, we were both under the minimum tax earnings for that year... so I don't understand where the other £150 has gone?
I do not recall having any statements for the JSA income, do you know if it possible to get any? Otherwise, any suggestions about how these figures work?
Thanks!

Off the top of my head I can't figure out how the difference in this case would be right, but I guess it is.
