help!

seven-day-weekend

Hi Ross01 (sorry lambysmaby for hi-jacking the thread).

I am a British Citizen, lived in the UK from birth until I was 54, then went to live in Spain (just over two years ago). I am at the moment a Spanish Resident.

However, within the next 3-5 years, I intend to spend around seven months a year in the UK.(which will make me UK Resident). I still have a house and various bank accounts in the UK (and am actually still visiting a UK dentist once a year!).

Would I have the same problems as lambysmaby if I were to apply for JSA? I will be around 58 by this time (2 years from retirement). Or will they take the fact of my house and bank acounts as evidence that I am now again resident in the UK?

Thanks

you get your ni number when you are 16, on a card. mine never came thru, had to send off my id and got it thru i knew it just wanted to have it on the card as the numbers are similar and the same. if you left uk 5 years ago , you would have had a ni number before then, doesnt matter if your mum didnt claim benefits, my mum didnt i still got mine. where you registerd at birth do you have a birth certificate

TURNED DOWN FOR JSA

i recently moved to the u.k with my parnter, my nationality is british, i applied for jsa and filled in a HRT form they have since declined my application for my claim, my partner is claiming JSA but it is not enough for us both to live on, is there any other benifts im entiltiled to or is this it for me

any help would be much appreciated

In any case you should make a joint claim for JSA if you are partners. You won't be able to claim Income Support because it needs to be a joint claim, which would be Jobseekers Allowance.
