Hello you guys, This is my first time on this forum, so be kind to me ![](images/happy.gif) I saw a client today, from Poland, came to the UK in October 2004 and started work immediately. She worked for 13 months but did not register! When she lost her job she tried to claim JSA but was initially refused for failing the right to reside test. After 3 months she applied again and she got it. Then she worked for another 12 months again without registerig. Now she's in the same situation: tring to claim JSA and refused. In the mean time CTC for her 12 year old has stopped and so have HB and CTB and she's about to be evicted from a privae landlord.
The question I have is this:
- Is there an argument for her being entitled to JSA because she got it 2 years ago? Isn't it strange that she was found to be entltitled to it 2 years ago and not now?
Anything else that you can suggest?
Thanks a lot!
