Hi, is the full unemployment benefit payable to all for a minimum of six months and after that it depends on the amount you have saved in bank accounts or if you are receiving a pension? what is the current savings limit? Thank you.

Have a read through the above site. There are 2 different types, one is contribution (NIC) based and the other is means tested. You can only get either if you are under state retirement age.

Income-based JSA is unaffected if your savings are less than £6000. Thereafter it's gradually reduced, getting down to nil if you've got savings of £16000 or more.
