So... I have just got this letter
'We cannot pay you jobseekers allowance from 27 June
- because you have not paid, or been credited with, enough class 1 national insurance contributions and
-you have more money coming in than the law says you need to live on.
We have used the tax years ending 5 april and 5 april 2014 to assess your claim'
1, I applied for Jobseekers earlier this year and I got jobseekers that time, even though I hadnt paid any national insurance contributions or whatever by then either. What does JSA have to do with your NI contributions?
2, I do not have more money coming in than the law says I need to live on. I have a part time job, less than 16 hours which pays minimum wage and I have no other savings, income or anything. They know this, I brought my payslips to my JSA appointments
3, How could you use the tax year from 2-3 years ago when I wasnt even working or living in this country at that time to assess my claim in 2016?
Can someone please shed light on what I am missing...?
