Must have taken alot of brainpower to generate that response.

2 years contribution, you think is plenty,

what would yu feel like if you had contributed for 40 years, but just not enough in that particular year to get JSA, now that would sicken a lot of people a lot more than you are now.

Good luck with your job hunting (and I mean that, no sarcasm is intended)

My reason for posting this though, is because I dont understand how this kind of thing can happen?

What kind of thing? If you really want JSA that badly have you thought about leaving your girlfriends parents house and moving into a shared house somewhere by yourself and claiming the shared room rate of LHA and IB-JSA?

I have contributed plenty, but as seemingly always with the system.. nothing back for it.

You have not contributed "plenty".

You had a gap in the last 2 years (prior to that at university so no "contribution" there) of contributions so you don't get JSA.

Always amazes me how young folk claim to have "given a contribution" yet have not even had 2 years full employment!

Any info, comments, feedback or insight greatly appreciated.

Love you all.

It was not greatly appreciated though was it? And you certainly don't love "all".

Seems you havn't paid enough conts to qualify for JSA, but if you've been earning for the last year and a half and living with the in laws we could assume you've saved plenty what with cheap rent and board etc, perhaps you could dip into your saving to support yourself until you get another job?

Firstly, read my post properly. I have worked 2 full years of employment.

Secondly, if your refering to my response to someone saying get a job. Yeah your right, people like that are a waste energy. I have applied for countless jobs. You can't just click your fingers and have a job these days, it takes time. ie apply, wait, interview, start work, get paid.

And can I just mention for the record, I didnt choose to become unemployed. People get fired/let go/made redundant. Sh*t happens.

unless things have changed, JSA was calculated as being the last 2 full tax years before the benefit year in which you claimed. Benefit year runs from Jan to Dec and Tax years from April to April. 2010 is the benefit year, so the last 2 complete tax years are from April 2007 - 2008 and 2008 - 2009. If you claimed in January next year, then this year's contributions would have been counted.

Thats correct.
