    Jobseeker benefit is being reduced to 9 months for those not in receipt of benefit for at least 6 months by April 3 2012. As JSB is also the base qualification criteria for STEA, have they made any exemtion for this valuable scheme or is it reduced for STEA claimants as well to 9 months?

    cheers

    Peter

    As STEA lasts for the lifetime of jsb claim then I would think that STEA is also reduced.

    Is this an opinion or do you have anything to support this other than the conditions of the existing STEA guidelines?

    Educated opinion. STEA is only paid to people in receipt of JSB and for the duration of JSB. See existing guidelines

    My question was as to whether any exception had been made for STEA or not, definitively. I am well aware of the requirements and terms of the scheme as run heretofore.

    Thanks
