P800: Underpaid Tax

I've just received my P800 saying I have underpaid tax. I noticed that under 'Your income' it has my 'PAYE Income' but also 'Jobseekers allowance' with an amount of 1890. I haven't claimed for JSA or received the amount it states. I claimed for JSA back in October 2010 but it only lasted one week before they stopped it due to me leaving a job. All payments stopped and that was that.

I guessing this discrepancy is what has caused the underpaid tax? Do I contact HMRC about the mistake or notify my employers payroll?
