Can anyone tell me how much national insurance contributions you need to have paid over the last 2 tax years to be eligible for contributions based JSA, please?
DD unable to claim income based JSA.

You don't need to have paid any. You need to have earnt more than the lower earnings limit of national insurance in every week of the last 2 years and been credited with national insurance contributions from an employer through PAYE.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.
