    Hi,
    I searched for an answer to this but cant find it. Does anyone know how long you can claim social welfare once you are put on a 3 day week. A friend has been on it for two years and has now got a letter to say they are being cut off.

    Many Thanks

    That sounds correct but they can apply for Jobseekers Allowance which is means tested. They would have had an entitlement of 312 days on JSB, they would have been paid JSB 3 days every week which would last approx 2 years. They probably would not re-qualify for JSB even though they would have the necessary contributions they would have not suffered any sub loss as their normal working pattern is a 3 day week.
