JSA - estimated self employed earnings forecast
Wed 25-Apr-07 03:25 PM |
My client's JSA has stopped. He is self employed on a very low income. Some weeks he is running his business at a loss. JSA stopped because the income forecast from his accountant (after deducting expenses etc) was a few pounds a week above the minimum. He has had very little work since JSA stopped and wants to re-submit lower income forecast figures, which may entitle him to JSA. My client would like his JSA to paid backdated to the date it stopped. Can he just write to JSA and explain the mistake and request backdating, or if not, does he have grounds for an appeal, even though he provided the incorrect information himself? Should he also put in a new claim for JSA? Any advice would be appreciated
