Hi just wondering if anyone has experience of jsb claim being linked through maternity benefit to an earlier jsb claim. My partner was getting jsb up until Nov2013 then got part time job. Took maternity in 2014 and back working again since 1st Nov.

Not sure if I'm interpreting it correctly. If it links back to claim of jsb from over a year ago that was exhausted would she be ineligible?

I seen it here in section 6c:
