Entitlement?

[Dtektor]

I'm a UK Citizen and facing an imminent return to UK. I have lived overseas for 14 years and supported myself in that time. Presently, Im unemployed and have no dependent family in UK. So no support now, quite isolated if returning. But I have tongue in my head, a good disposition and no criminal record. I'm concerned as UK's economy is in doldrums and I'd like to know where I stand with JSA. I guess I have not paid tax during that time and not been dependent on the state for any assistance. Though I only want to come back to work, as for where I don't know. I just don't want to come back and end up on the streets. I can choose anywhere to go but dislike London. I'm a Northerner originally. I wondered if anyone can advice me on the point with all the recent benefit shake-up that's supposedly going through with the Tory's new reign. Hmmmm, perplexed and concerned.
Thanks for your time : D

Welcome home.....If you,ve got any money saved from your overseas wages..Keep it in whichever foreign bank its in or drop it off or transfer it to and offshore isle of man bank account...then pop down to the jobcentre and plead poverty,and tell them you,ve got a fiver in ya back pocket...you should qualify for income based JSA...£to gain 65.45...Find a nice Flat..your income based JSA will cover £70 rent and your council tax....Then chill out for 6 months...and settle in again...decide what you want in life...friends are what you need to make you feel at home again..Good Luck...P..S..UK Citizen..; )
