JSA for part timer?

There's a possibility I may be made redundant in the near future. As I only work 15 hours a week, will I be entitled to JSA? I have been paying contributions for 40 years.

    If you have been paying at least the equivalent of minimum contributions each pay day in the last two contribution years which are taken into account then you would be able to claim contribution based JSA. However you would then have to look for full-time work, not another job of 15 hours.
