Can you apply for JSA while receiving JSB?

    My contract ends next month, so will likely have to file a new claim

    Based on 2011, I'd only get the minimum JSB rate [job didn't declare my proper work hours / taxes]

    But usually get JSB a lot sooner than JSA. If I sign on to JSB, can I get means tested for JSA, and move over to that if it's higher, and approved?

    Can't afford to go with no payment at all for months

    It can be done. Make sure, when you lodge your claim, to ask to have an optional Jobseeker's Allowance claim opened also. You should then qualify for whichever rate is higher.

    I would also follow up with Revenue/DSP the employer that understated hours/earnings. It will affect any claims made during 2013.
