    It appears you are going from JSB to JSA rather than the other way round. JSA is means tested. I am surprised that they do not have your means sorted at this stage in view of the fact that you brought all the relevant documents in to them in September. I am also surprised that they are not looking for more up to date bank details from you and payslips as September was 6 months ago and your financial situation may have changed since then. It is normal practice to send out JSA means testing letter about 2 months before someones JSB exhausts.... 6 months seems very far in advance. While you are waiting for the change over from jsb to jsa you can go to your community welfare officer and apply for supplementary welfare allowance. Any monies paid by the cwo will be paid back to swa scheme from the back dating of your jsa claim.
