New claim for JSA

lollpop

My mate has finished uni and went to make a claim for jsa. All of the relevent forms were filled in and they told her to sign on this coming wednesday. In todays post she has received a letter saying she cant claim until the end of july as she is still classed as being in full time education!! Can they do this?????

Yes they can. She can't get JSA until after the official end of the course.

Not even if she has taken proof of her degree and finishing date????

What is the official date for the end of term?

what is the "official" end date of the course? Until then she is classed as a student and all her student finance was calculated to take her up to that date

will have too wait until end of July sadly since that's when they class as a leaving date least it's only a few weeks to go now

What proof of the finishing date did she provide ? And what was that date ? I think it would be unusual for it to be before the end of July ...
