booboo DWP Rights and paymentts

[5corpio]

Reading the JSA Gov website on eligibility

i may be getting the boot in my job role/or i may hand my notice in.

Either way, reading the JSA eligibility, it says with regarding partner: if works more than 24 hours in a week you get 'Nil' or more than £6,000 in savings (my partner works more than 24 hrs a week, has a mortgage with her brother on a house, more than £6,000 in savings BUT none of that is in my name or i have access to them (my partner had ALL that before we married) Would i be still entitled to any JSA?

i know that i don;t get any housing or c/tax entitlement

Who knows with DWP - they seem to make the rules as they go along.

If you hand in your notice you will not be entitled to anything as far as I am aware as you would then be intentionally unemployed.

As for if you wait until you are given the boot, then you are entitled to apply - I would do it anyway, they can always say no. As I read it, the 24 hour rule applies to Income Based JSA and not Contribution based which is what you normally apply for. Also, though it may have changed, I thought the savings limit was £16K for couples?

Pompey will be a good person to ask.

thanks Oscar for the feedback - i'll look more into it (JSA is the same as income Based - no different in monies), But as it's said, they make things up as they go along!
