P60 help - multiple years?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum.

Hi, I'm a student and need to send my mother's income details from tax year 14-15. She contacted DWP to get it, and they can only give her one for 2009-15 as they closed her account after she signed off Jobseekers.

Just wondering how this is going to work - does the P60 show total income per year? Student Finance only need 2014-15 so I have no clue how it's going to work with 2009-2015.

Alternatively, is there anywhere else my mum can get her income evidence if she's been unemployed?

Thanks

    A p60 is provided to employees at the end of the tax year to show their taxable income for the year.

    What was your mums situation in 2014/15?

    My mother's been unemployed at that time. It might not be the P60 but some sheet of her income.

    What benefits was she on if not working?

    Have you laser student finance what they would normally see if someone wasn't working?

    Does the Job Centre issue P60's for anyone claiming JSA as at 5th April?

    If so, the OP Mum should have received one if she was claiming at the change of tax year 14/15 and should also get one by the end of this month for the 15/16 tax year.

    JCP normally give a P60u for taxable benefits. I assume OPs mum doesn't have one though. I don't think a duplicate would be possible.

    DWP would supply a P60u for anyone claiming as at 5th April each year, not sure if that would apply if on income based benefits only though.

    Next option is to contact HMRC, they can provide this information.

    Both types of JSA are taxable so I would imagine so.
