7 day waiting period for jsa

Question, if a claimant on esa is found fit for work and claims jsa pending MR do they have to wait the 7 days for paymnet and if they then appeal do they get the 7 days back that they lost out on ?

The waiting days comes into force today

The Social Security (Waiting Days) Amendment Regulations 2014

Coming into force—27th October 2014

So if claim was prior to this the answer should be no

many thanks, what if claim is after 27 10 14 ?

Then wait seven days as the regs are in force as of today.

There are no waiting days at all if entitlement to JSA starts within 12 weeks of ESA ending.

Thanks Nevip, Thanks Bryan
