    JSA/JSB is not a source of income.


    Really?:confused:
    Any money you receive into your hands whether it be wages or JSA is a source of income.

    What are you saving for?, a new macbook pro.

    This person should be taken off the dole if they can afford to save.

    No JSA is there in order to give a person the basic means to survive, a standard living. Back to school/clothing allowance and child Benefit is not an income either. It's money you receive but is there for a specific purpose.

    When banks calculate for a loan they take income from outgoing minus living standard for a person. JSB covers standard of living so the person has no disposable income.

    It depends what your standard of living is! Like everything, it's individual.
