Contributions Based Jobseekers Allowance
4 Answers
Hi
If someone walks out of a job (well not exactly walks out, actually has given 2 weeks notice) and they want to register for contributions based JSA (which they were receiving previously), is it correct that you won't get any benefits for 6 weeks because you've left work voluntarily? Do they take anything else into consideration, ie the reasons you left (this reason being work was so stressful it was causing illness)??
