Presumably you aren't able to claim JSA (contributions based) because you haven't paid the appropriate NICs and can't get JSA (means tested) because your household income is too high or you have savings. You wouldn't be able to claim ESA for the same reasons.
You can sign on for JSA credits which will count towards your pension.0 -
Is it possible you could appeal the decision? or maybe try income support0
