    I have recently transferred from JSA to UC. Now I have a question to answer which is" in the last 12 months have you any gaps in my employment " & have to tick either yes or no. I have never worked,so what do I tick? Plus my statement tells me I have been deducted  about £16 as I was claiming JSA when I wasn't entitled to,but I don't understand how,as my JSA adviser told me I was entitled to a run-on payment. I wasn't told that I would be deducted any money. I have put a comment on my journal regarding this,but have had no response. Can anybody help me understand this please.

    I don't know about the JSA deduction maybe they paid you an extra day or something by mistake?? Hope they answer soon.
    The other question about yes or no, you tick yes because there has been a gap.

    Hi,
    I am stressed. I am so confused about the benefits system. I feel misled & they took advantage of my vulnerability. They still haven't explained why I was deducted a sum of money, when I was told that I was entitled to it. I used to enjoy doing crafts and cooking,but my OA prevents  me,so talking on this forum really helps me .
