I would like to pass on the following information. I have now reached the end of the six month period and I thought you might want to know what happens next :
(1). The initial agreement you signed on applying for JSA is revised, you will now be obliged to look for any job you are capable of starting at the minimum wage which is at present £5.52 per hour.
(2).JSA stops after six months, although you may qualify for income related benefit - but in our case it may not happen, our N.I. CREDITS WILL BE COVERED if you continue to sign on every two weeks.
The reason for this is because for every £250 savings you lose £1 of benefit, so if you have over £6000 savings you will lose your benefit !.
At your six month interview you wll get a printout of your possible entitlements -housing ,council tax,working tax credits etc.
I hope this is help to everyone.
