JSA - continuous residency

Hello,
According to 'entitledto' benefits calculator, I am eligible for contributions based JSA so started to make an online claim.
My query is about the question asking if I have lived continuously in the UK for the previous two years. I went travelling for five weeks in this period so does anyone have any advice on what impact that has on the claim? I have read that is makes a Universal Credit claim ineligible (I'm not eligible for that anyway) but is that the same for contributions-based JSA?
Thank you

You didn't emigrate did you, you were only on holiday. Presumably, you still lived in the UK.0

If it was just a 5 week holiday you should be fine. I would call and run it past them though to be 100%.0
