JSA or JSB??

zacseph

Ok, I'm so very confused right now!! :P

So, for the last year and a half (or maybe a little more) I've been working part time (I switched to part time to try going back to college, but it ended up way too costly and I had dropped out by mid semester 1 - been looking for full time work since)
Anyways, Looks like my job might be gone soon (redundancy) and I'm wondering what should I be looking at - JSA or JSB?
I work saturday & sunday at the moment and end up getting about 250 a week, and I've read elsewhere that if I'm making less than 300, I might only get a fraction of JSB and so JSA could be better??
Anyone know about this for sure, cos welfare and citixens information are confusing me waaaay too much!! :P

Thanks all...

All the info is in this link.

When you go in to make your claim. SW will advise you which is best for your circumstances. Are you not claiming SW at the minute as you only work 2 days per week?

Thanks for the link!! No - I didn't know if I could, to be honest... I thought I might be earning too much... I also thought considering I moved to Part-time myself i couldn't... but that said, I never asked them...
