Jobseeker's Allowance Claim

Hey ,

Just wondered, when you apply for JSA online, do they ask for copies of your last 3 bank statements or anything like that?

    When you go for the Work Focussed Interview you will be asked to bring proof of identity for yourself and your partner if you have one, proof of final pay, and and/or current earnings, other income, all savings if they are over £5500. They also need proof of your housing costs (rent mortgage etc. ) They may ask for other proof, eg statements going back further than 1 month if there is additional information needed to make a decision on your claim.
