No job no income

locsel

Hi all

At this moment i have no job and very minimum income.My usual job is working in engineering office. I worked for one year up till june 2019 was made redundant,i then received JSA for 5 months.I had a fixed term contract for 2 months untill the end of january 2020.I was able to claim JSA for one month up to the end of Feb 2020 after which i was told by benefits agency i could no longer claim.I do not qualify for universal credit.At this moment it is almost impossible to get a job in my field because of the government rules.Is there any way i can get state help or do i fall between the cracks?

thanks for attention any help would be appreciated.

Universal credit would usually be the "state help", do you not qualify because you have savings or a working partner?

You might not be able to get a job 'in your field', but there are plenty of jobs being advertised in sectors that are crying out for staff at the moment
Even if just on a temporary basis, until 'your field' is recruiting again, anything that'll give you some income is surely better than nothing...?
