    Hi all

    I currently work pt and hubbie has been claiming JSA. He will be starting a new ft job next week.
    What is the story with informing FIS? Just looked online and found that you have to inform them if you lose your job. I also found that if your hours are reduced its basically tough as they wont do a re-assessment till the following year. But what if your hours increase as in our case? Am I right in assuming that it wont be re-assessed till next year? (we started getting FIS in Feb 2015)

    Thanks in advance

    Yes you are correct. No review again until February whether you are better or worse off other than you working less than 19 hours or loosing your job.
