Hi there, first off, apologies if this has already been covered.
I have recently come off (Contributions based) JSA. My claim was less than 26 weeks (i think it was 7-8) as I have found full time work.
I saw the DWP's grant scheme but I don't qualify for it (for JSA claims 26 weeks or more and claimed before October 2012)
As many of you will know, coming off benefits into a new job or even from one job to another can leave you short, being paid a month in arrears may leave you without money for the first 4 weeks as in my situation.
Is there any sort of grant or funding I can claim? Just need that little boost to fill the gap til I get my first pay packet.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
Joey
