Contribution based JSA and Income based JSA
125 Answers
can someone please explain the difference, apart from the disregards for contribution based, more along the lines of why the rate is the same for someone who has paid 30 years + contributions and someone over 25 who hasn't paid a penny and never worked a day in their lives? Just a simple explanation that does not focus on the other state hand outs like NHS etc that both claimants would recieve equally.

Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this case.

My husband signs on every 2 weeks. He receives no JSA. Of either kind. He hasn't enough Class I payments because he was self employed for about 40 years and employed for just 1. He won't qualify for income based JSA because I usually work and we receive rental income from a house. When I was made redundant I filled in forms for us to be assessed on our incomes. But I returned to work and stopped this before it went anywhere. Tbh I was happy to be out of the system before I was even in it.
We have now taken hubbies personal pension to keep us going. So defo no way we will get anything for him now. Which brings me back to him signing on every 2 weeks. Why does he do it? So he can get free prescriptions for blood pressure (!) and dental care. And so the government can pay his Class I contribs for him even tho he qualifies for full state pension on contribs already in, and is unlikely to be able to get any other bens for the forseable future.
However, he has made some nice friends at the Jobcentre. They think the system is ridiculous as well!
JSA should give everyone some money, albeit small. As Dot says, keeping wheels costs, as does the car park.
