  • You should apply for JSA but expect to be sanctioned for up to 26 weeks. I don't know whether you will be able to claim help with your mortgage (if you are it'll be after 13 weeks) but you won't get any help with the secured loan.
  • Because you were dismissed for Gross Misconduct the Jobcentre will probably sanction you (2 Weeks, 4 Weeks or 26 Weeks). You will not be able to claim Income-Based JSA or Contribution Based JSA during the period of the sanction.

    You should claim Hardship Allowance JSA, but; if your pension and savings amounts to more than the Hardship Payment of £32 per Week, you will not be get it.
