I'll try and be brief
Made redundent in April 2008 and received JSB until June 09 when the entitlement ran out,Didn't qualify for JSA but signed on for credits then in Dec 2010 managed to get a years work finished last Friday
Just come back from the social and at first they said that I didn't qualify for a new claim for JSB then changed their mind and said I might get a reduced claim I don't have any paid contributions for what they call the relevent tax year which in my case is 2009 (although signed for credits from June 09)
Looking at the web site the info is a little confusing

UNQUOTE
But I am thinking that I do qualify as I do have 13 contributions in The 2 tax years before the relevant tax year and The current tax year.
Has anyone got any thoughts on this that they could share?
Thanks
