My friend was in receipt of Jobseekers allowance in 2010, having used up his entitlement to JSB. He got a contract for work but part of the agreement was he register as self employed and take care of his own tax. He signed off in October 2010, and has had self employed income since. He also has had 9 months PAYE income in that time, during which he was getting a Class A stamp. The work took place from Sept 11 to present.
His self employment contract ended earlier this year, and is not being renewed so he has deregistered from tax. He's now got his P45 from the PAYE job.
The SW office says that 2010 is the relevant year and he doesnt have the contributions he needs so he has to get JSA - which he wont get based on his wife's income.
My reading of the information is that he is entitled as he has requalified by paying the minimum 13 class A contributions since in the last year.
I'd love to get the opinion of someone well informed of these matters.
Many thanks for any help!
