JSA - Can I claim again?

I wondered if someone could answer my query as I can't find the answer online.

I was made redundant last year and signed on and received JSA. I had a couple of temp assignments which meant I had to sign off with 2 weeks left of my 6 month claim unclaimed. I then had a 10 week assignment but I'm now unemployed again. Can I sign on and receive my remaining 2 weeks of my original claim or can I start a new claim? I do not qualify for income based JSA.

Thanks for any advice.

    You can do a rapid reclaim. You will get your remaining 2 weeks then you will get national insurance credits.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
