If somebody leaves their job voluntarily can they get income based Jsa?
How does the job centre know if you left by your own choice or were made redundant?

they write to your last employer, if you are made redundant you can get contributions based jsa for 6 months.Mr Generous - Landlord for more than 10 years. Generous? - Possibly but sarcastic more likely.0

I think the job centre will check with your previous employer to find out why you left.Debt 30k in 2008.:eek::o Cleared all my debt in 2013 and loving being debt free

Mortgage free since 2014

If I remember rightly I gave the DWP a copy of my redundancy notice from my employer. They didn't just take my word for it.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

So what if somebody does leave for their own reasons? Can you not get jsa at all?Nothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future0

What if somebody has to leave for health reasons? If it's just that job that causes health problems and you give notice to leave, can you get income based jsa (if not paid any NI contributions) while you look for another job?Nothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future0

You can apply. You are likely to be sanctioned.

Do you have any independent evidence that your job is affecting your health?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
