You are right about it only lasting 6 months but you are wrong about the savings part. It doesnt matter how much money you have in savings as contributions based JSA is given if you have paid in class 1 NI for 2 years or over. Income based JSA takes into consideration savings, whether your partner works etc.

I'm expecting a lot of crap, but..
If I walk out my current job can I claim for anything?
I'll only need to claim for a bit of cash for the next 6weeks?
yeh yeh I'm lucky to have a job, but come on... some jobs just aren't worth the stress and I've hit a new low after today.

No if you leave of youre own accord you wouldnt be able to claim JSA. If you were sacked you could.

What would happen to people then if they walked out with outgoings like rent? On the streets?

Dunno, but if you wernt on JSA or income support youd not qualify for housing benefits either

What about if your rent was fully paid up? housing benefits not being needed.
Just finished college so I'm signing on to have a bit of cash on the side.
I feel no guilt because people at college got 30 a week EMA and lived local, whereas I had to commute a good few miles by train and received nothing. So from my perspective I feel I'm rightfully claiming to what I'm entitled too.
I don't find it soul destroying, there's some pretty mad people around there that clearly don't want to be, but I'm only there for an interview. I don't have to mix with those people, so it's kinda like just being at a zoo and watching the lesser intelligent animals make a fuss over each others faeces.

If you resign without good reason as far as I know, you wont be entitled to JSA.
I walked out of a job because I wasn't getting payed minimum wage, my wage day was always late and my employer wasn't paying my N.I or Tax.
I wrote a report to the JobCentre about this, they sent it to a decision maker and I was entitled to JSA.
Unless you come up with a good excuss for leaving and the fact that the jobcentre people will be incompetent you might get it but you will die inside once you set foot inside the job centre signing on, seeing what scum is around.
Yeah it truly is a terrible place to have to go every 2 weeks. I currently have to go every week because of a new scheme or something.
I have never ever met people as rude as the advisors there before. But I guess it's something you just have to deal with and not let it bother you.

this should make you laugh, a conversation i heard awhile back.....
advisor: please sign your name here
client: ....
advisor: this signature doesn't match your claim name
client: i didn't think it mattered.....
I went back in 2009 after being made redundant and going back to college to see what I could get, got a job off my own back but not after some snotty and some great people working in the job centre. Also seeing people, young women, going in DEMANDING to wonder why they have not been paid THEIR money and the amount of youngster going in with all the Lacoste gear on and pitbulls waiting outside, no thanks.
Also when I had to go in for an interview and was waiting, seeing a scruffy old bloke come in and sit down then leave and a woman pull out a can of air freshener and explain its normal, no wonder some of them have no will to live working at the JC

Sign on. You seem to have the right attitude. A little help coming your way would do you the world of good and help with some bills.
