    You don't need to cancel your JSA because this will just be deducted from your UC entitlement.
    If I keep JSA we will get £14 UC credit a month. And JSA only lasts 6 month 
    If you are on UC when the JSA ends your UC will go up - it is calculated monthly.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Thank you. Hopefully I'll be back at work before it ends. Just over half a drop in earrings 😭

    I applied online on 26 March for JSA and apart from a text on 27 March confirming my application I have not heard anything, I have been trying to talk to someone for over 2 hours.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    All you can do is to keep trying to ring them.
