What happens after 6 months of JSA

When I (24) asked my advisor she wouldn't elaborate, only that she'd discuss it further on the next appointment. Any ideas? Help welcome.

    I'd just about reached it when I managed to find a temporary job (I'm 21).

    From what I can remember, signing on was changed from weekly back to once a fortnight. The agreement I had with them was revised. For me it was a bit limited because I can't drive and I don't have a minimum wage agreement or anything. I think my travel time was raised to ninety minutes and they really wanted me to join agencies.

    I also seem to think you become elegible for more training courses and help. But this was before they changed everything round yet again so I don't know how much this'll actually help. Sorry!
