JSA claim

Hello,

I'm looking for some help.I made a claim online for JSA on Wednesday after not getting enough points at my medical assessment. My jobcentre interview was 2 days later.The lady told me that unfortunately as the Friday would have been my signing day I would get money until 3 working days after my next signing day. Today I got a text saying "We have awarded your benefit. We will confirm this in writing. We will pay you within 3 working days" .

Is the text a mistake or the JC lady ? How much will I receive ?

T.I.A

    Are you aware that you can appeal the decision not to grant you ESA, and be paid during the appeal (usually).
    Or do you not believe you qualify.
  • Yeh,but I was too late and I want to go onto JSA in any case.
  • Anyone ?

    Have they counted my interview on the Friday as a sign on because I "transfered" from IB ? Is getting money this quick unheard of ?
