JSA benefit coming to an end. If no job what benefit am I entitled to. Been for interviews , but I can tell they prefer someone younger. Oh well their loss.

    If you are claiming contribution based JSA, it should last for 26 weeks. After which you may be able to move to income based depending on household income. In another post you said your husband works 8 hours a week, JSA for a couple is around £112 and you would have a disregard of £10 meaning you would get JSA of £122 less his income. This assumes you have less than £6k in savings. £6k to £16k means the amount would be reduced and over £16k means no income related benefits
