JSA Stopped

Hi all,

I was made redundant back in November 2009. From then I was claiming JSA (NI contribution based). In Sept this year my NI contribution expired so I had to fill out a JSA3 form so that I could recieve JSA income based. Unfortuantly this got rejected as my partner works more than 24 hours a week.

What am I to do now my parter is paying for everything at the mo and we are really struggling. I have my own debts that she cannot afford to pay. I know that I can appeal, but after extensive research the decision is corrrect and dont see the point if its only to be rejected again.

I am actively looking for a job, but seem to be really unlucky in interviews. i.e my feedback is always good, but I get nipped at the post.

    There isnt much you can do. As your partner works you arent entitled to any JSA
