Hi All

 

I wonder if anyone can help please. I'm on a temp contract and am going to be unemployed soon, so will be signing on, to claim JSA again. I understand we are in the 2014 benefits year, so DWP will look at my contributions for the tax years 2011-2012 & 2012-2013.

 

During 2011-2012 I was credited with 50 Credits from ESA.

During 2012-2013 I was credited with 16 Credits from ESA.

 

From my understanding, there are two conditions to be met.

 

The first one being in either tax year, I must have earned or been credited with at least 26 weeks. So that's OK.

 

The second one however, requires earnings of 50 x the LEL. So I'm thinking that due to only having 16 ESA credits in 2012-2013 I will fail the criteria and not be awarded any JSA.

 

Would any one be able to confirm this for me - I'll still go ahead and apply for it, but just getting a bit nervous at the prospect of no income (my fiancee works more than 20 hours a week so no Income based JSA either).

 

Many Thanks in advance
