If you've hardly been unemployed can you get contribution based JSA?

Just because you've been private doesn't stop you getting an NHS dentist

Have you actually applied for JSA, they may well sanction you but how long for is up to their discretion.

Well when I investigated it you had to be up to date (dentally fit) before you could join DenPlan or similar. I can't imagine alternatives will be any different otherwise it would be like looking for house insurance after your roof has been blown off!

If you need a significant amount of fillings etc it will cost you hundreds of pounds privately. That it why I wondered if a NHS band two treatment (c. £50 unless you qualify for free) would be a far cheaper way of getting up to date. Then, if you can afford it, go private.

Thanks undervalued . Looking at your first paragraph , I think I know what to do .
I think I will sign up to dentist. Once I've paid for initial treatment, I could make enquiry about joining up,to their plan. It means that further down the line, i will be saving on costs eventually .

God no ! I know of the unwriiten rule : if you leave a job without another one to go to , you cannot claim anything for six months .
I'm dreading doing so, as ive only signed on once when I was made redundant 10 years ago,

Without applying you have no way of knowing if they would sanction you for six months though. It could be less or even more.
