A Few Questions With Regards To Jobseekers Allowance Application Form?

Straight Talker

Im reapplying to get back on Jobseekers Allowance, as im about to finish my 12 month TUS work placement scheme.I just have a few questions, with regards to some of the questions being asked on the application forms.

1 On the jobseekers claim part b form, there is the question have you made an unemployment claim in the last 5 years?Yes or no?I have been receiving jobseekers allowance in the last 5 years, but my original application claim for JSA was made before that time frame?I was also on a momentum program from December 2014, until May 2015.I was reviving BTEA allowance while on that program.I was then automatically transferred back on to JSA, when i finished that momentum program.So im unsure on what to tick there.

2 Have you been on a CE scheme in the last 5 years?Is the answer to that question no, seeing that the TUS scheme is a different program to the CE scheme?

3 The following questions are related to JSA UP1 form.Beside your normal occupation do i just write my current job, which is a charity shop worker on the TUS scheme.

4 My most recent work experience prior to that, was a work placement program on the Momentum program.So i presume i just refer to that, for the your last occupation section.

5 Is anyone claiming for you as a qualified adult on their social welfare payment?Do i need to reveal details of my fathers state pension there?

6 Are you at present C on a community employment scheme or D on a Solas or Local Employment Servies course?Seeing that i am on a TUS scheme, i presume i tick no on section c and yes on section d.

7 On the checklist of documents required sheet, the evidence of income from any other source section is ticked.Does that mean that i need to bring in payslips, in relation to my fathers work and state pensions.Although i understand that is only an issue if you are under the age of 25.

8 One final question, is my bank statement sufficient evidence of the wages i am being paid on the TUS scheme, or do i need to send them a payslip as well?

Maybe a lot of those questions are stupid, but i don't want the processing of my claim being delayed.So i think it's better to ask about anything im unsure about, before signing the actual forms.:)

1 Yes
2 No
3 Yes
4 Yes
5 Your father may be claiming for your mother as qualified adult but not you- only relates to spouse / partner. And you're over 25 therefore not a dependant child.
6 Yes
7 No need to involve dad
8 They'll know already but bring as much paperwork as is handy (definitely the recent bank statement if it's for JA)
