Hi everyone
I posted a few weeks ago as I was made redundant. I was under the impression that I would be entitled to Contribution based JSA for 6 months (£71pw) despite having savings.
I only signed on for 3 weeks then had to sign off as I had a pre paid and booked holiday. I arrived home this evening to find 4 letters going the long way round to tell me I will receive nothing.
Can this be right? If so what was the point in me signing on in the 1st place and being scolded like a child for not doing enought to find a job (after being unemployed for 1/2 a day).
I have worked for 35 years so have savings, but surely I must be entitled to a little?
