Jobseeker allowance - first no, then yes

After having applied I have received a letter stating "We can pay you jobseeker allowance from the 10 of nov". The letter only tells me the amount but doesn't say if I have to do anything myself, nor from when they are going to pay it.
What happens now? Do I need to get in touch with them?
Also, I was frankly baffled to have received a positive response, as I had applied before (I haven't had a full time paid job - nor part time- since the beginning of the year) in march, but they'd refused to pay me the allowance.
How does this make sense? What changed?
They are really confusing me here..

Didn't you get invited to an interview at the job centre with an advisor before being told you were going to receive JSA? It is at that meeting that you would be told when to sign on etc.After having applied I have received a letter stating "We can pay you jobseeker allowance from the 10 of nov".

Well, that depends on what reason they gave you when you were refused.Also, I was frankly baffled to have received a positive response, as I had applied before (I haven't had a full time paid job - nor part time- since the beginning of the year) in march, but they'd refused to pay me the allowance.

They didn't invite me to a meeting. I have only received the letter. And the first time they refused me the JSA, they said it was on the grounds that I hadn't paid enough tax last year (when I was working part time and studying)London Fashion Week tickets, Clinique Facial treatment set (I see it as a win :P) Mario Power Tennis Wii game, Aura by Swaroski perfume, Theatre Tickets to 'A woman alone' :T, £1000 with Kerrang's Scream4Cash, Links of London Wedding Themed Bracelet, Chipmunk O2 launch party tickets, Adidas All In gig tickets, Water For Elephants Double Bill tix0

When you next sign on then you should normally get your JSA payment three banking days later. I presume you are signing on fortnightly?Lost my soulmate so life is empty.

It sounds like some confusion over your contribution status. It will get sorted and back dated, So just carry on signing on your dates and remind the advisor you see each time, to find out your situation. But it sounds like you are in the system and thats a good thing. The next time you sign, just ask.0
