If somebody has never paid any NI contributions then how long do they have to pay before they can claim contribution based JSA?
Say if they worked for 2 years paying and then they were unemployed, is 2 years enough contributions? Or would it be income based?
Is it 3,4 or more years min you have to be paying?

The thing about chaos is, it's fair.

contributions benefits look at the 2 previous complete tax years
Currently these years are 13/14 and 14/15
from Jan 17 the years looked at will be 14/15 and 15/16
so for someone claiming now, any credits after April 2015 are not included0
