How does JSA Show on Bank Statement

DavidHasAQuestion

Can those who are in receipt of Job Seekers Allowance tell me how does JSA payments show on their bank statements?

From memory it shows as DWP and NI number I think, it's been 3 or 4 years since I last claimed


Why?

I believe it shows 'JSA DWP' (or on most of the ones Ive seen it does)

Same with DLA/PIP and Cares allowance (CA)
Child tax credit shows as CTC

Though I imagine a lot of this may depend on your bank.

I take it XX123456X is the national Insurance Number?

Does it actually say "Bank Credit" or does it say Bank Giro Credit or an abbreviation like BCG?

I may be wrong but im assuming you dont want anyone seeing that you are on benefits? dont you have a second account?

DavidHasAQuestion

I only have 1 account and may have to show it to prove my name & address. So I don't want my NI number showing on there.

So... am I correct that NI numbers show up on bank statements when receiving JSA?

Having worked at the benefit office I can answer you.

Yes your full NI shows, alongside JSA DWP then our ref no. Funnily enough I was asked this numerous times.

If you really don't want people to see it perhaps open a 2nd account (basic perhaps). That way you can transfer the money over.

Thank you. So the sequence as it would show on my bank statement is:
"XX123456X DWP JSA"

How does the reference number show/ in what format etc.

The ref no is a series of nos so after the above its followed by about 8 numbers.

Why not just put a line through the transactions if they are only after proof of address not proof of income.
