    Hi,
    I am being means-tested for casual workers JSA next Tuesday. I signed on today, I got 24 hours notice from my job. I also work part-time 6 hours a week in the university (I am not a student). I have about 400 euro in my bank account - 200 for my rent, and about 500 in my credit union account (which I was saving for college or a course or something). Will this disallow me from claiming JSA? Would this be considered means to support myself for a few weeks? Any advice or feedback would be great.
    Cheers,
    Jenny.
