Changing over from BTEA to JSA

ruboo

Hi there,

I am a mature student, with a family and I am very worried about what happens when I go to change over to JSA this year. Of course, I have every intention of seeking employment, but in the meantime I cannot afford to have any stopped payment.

Has anyone gone through the process? Can you give me some advice please?

Thanks a million.
:P

I done it last year, basically you just have to go back into your local office an sign back onto the jsa, an then have to sign on again every month as normal. Its easy to forget about signing on tho, cause after 9 or so months not having to sign on its easy to forget that ya have to, so put a reminder onto your phone or somethin.. anyways all ya have to do is go into your local office, an tell them that ya are changing from the back to education to jsa an they will just give ya your sign in card an that will be it, no filling out forms an all that mumbo jumbo..

Your college/uni should provide you with a letter stating on what day you finished college/uni on , hand this letter to you local office and they will switch you back to JSA , in theory( :rolleyes: ) there should be no wait.
