    When I was claiming JSA, the first 6 months i was claiming JSA Contributions, then after the 6 months was up, I had to fill in a JSA3 form but it took 4 weeks to process, and in the meantime HB and CB benefits were stopped until the JSA3 was processed. I would fill it in as soon as possible because it did take some weeks to go though.

    Thank god my unemployed nightmare days are over!! I dont know how i managed claiming JSA for under a year but I did.

    Get the form in as soon as possible.
  • I just got made redundant and made a claim for JSA a week ago . I've just been informed I'm entitled to nothing because I havent made enough contributions yet I've sucsessfully claimed JSA before . They won't give me income based because my partner works more than 24 hours a week . I think it totally stinks . How do people manage to move to this country and receive benefits without making prior contributions ? I've paid into the system all my working life and this is how I get treated .

    If you have really paid in ALL your working life then you would have full NI stamps for the last two years and be able to get contribution based JSA.
