Hi

I am 25 and wanted some advice about JSA.

I work 25 hours per week and want to know if I am entitled to Job Seekers Allowance. I have been made redundant and this job is the only one I could find for the time being.

Please help as I cannot survive on this wage as it is.

Thanks

The slightly longer answer is no, but you might be entitled to Tax Credits - Do I Qualify
