		Jobseeker's Allowance is for people who are unemployed or working less than 16 hours a week, and who are available for and actively seeking work.
		There are two types of Jobseeker's Allowance: contribution-based Jobseeker's Allowance and income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, and it is possible to get both at the same time.
		Contribution-based Jobseeker’s Allowance is usually paid at a flat rate of £59.15 a week (There are lower rates of £46.85 for those aged between 18 and 24, and £35.65 for those aged under 18).

	Commissioner's Decision CJSA 4911/98 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		8 Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations 1996 SI No 207 in calculating the claimant's capital for the purposes of the allowance from 22 July 1997, was erroneous in point of law.
		In July 1997 he was unemployed and drawing the "income-based jobseeker's allowance" which is the name now given to means-tested public assistance for people able to work.
		It is not in dispute that for the greater part of the time since the sale of their house in July 1997 the claimant and his wife have in fact been living in a caravan on the land they retained.

	Commissioner's Decision CJSA 1266/98 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The decision was that the claimant was not entitled to jobseeker's allowance from and including 21 March 1997.
		Section 4 of the Jobseekers Act 1995 provides that the weekly amount of pension payments received must be taken into account when calculating the weekly entitlement to jobseeker's allowance.
		Some of that advice related to unemployment benefit, which was replaced by jobseeker's allowance in October 1996, and is therefore not relevant to this appeal.

	Commissioner's Decision CJSA 3239/99 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		At the time of her jobseeker's allowance claim on 7 April 1998 she had been working as a supply teacher on a day to day basis in a primary school in Middlesborough, covering for a permanent teacher who was then on maternity leave.
		The conditions of employment applicable to her and other teachers engaged on a similar basis by the education authority were in evidence before the tribunal, and make it clear that the legal employment relationship of such teachers is precarious in the extreme.
		Her own jobseeker's agreement and jobseeker's allowance claim form had made it clear that her work was as a primary school teacher and this was the only form of employment she was looking for.

	BBC NEWS \| Business \| Pitfalls in claiming Jobseekers' Allowance
		Jobseekers' Allowance is the main UK benefit for unemployed people, and Job Centre Plus, the agency based in local job centres, administers it.
		JSA is paid only to people who lost their job through no fault of their own, and there are rules designed to back up this approach.
		The vast majority of these cases were people who left their last job voluntarily or lost it through misconduct.

	The Times Law Report THURSDAY MAY 17 2001
		In that case the claimant had become pregnant and it was argued that she had suffered discrimination in the way that jobseekers' allowance operated.
		The main issue was whether article 3 of the Directive applied to income-based jobseekers' allowance and turned on the question of whether the statutory scheme for that allowance provided protection against the risk of unemployment.
		But it seemed to his Lordship to be arguable that the linking of the entitlement to the additional amount of jobseekers' allowance to the entitlement to child benefit put men at a disability to women both practically and theoretically.

	Commissioner's Decision CSJSA 395/98 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Section 1(2) of the Jobseekers Act 1995 sets out the conditions upon which a claimant is entitled to a jobseekers allowance.
		That is because the tribunal in giving reasons for their decision indicated that because regulation 51 (2)(c) applied to the claimant she was in remunerative employment for the duration of the Easter vacation arid was therefore not entitled to jobseekers allowance.
		In regulation 51 (2)(b)(i) of the Jobseekers Allowance Regulations and regulation 5(2) of the Income Support (General) Regulations the method of calculation of hours provision is made in relation to a situation where there is a recognisable cycle of work.

		But in fact ES staff will be forced to issue coercive 'jobseekers directions', and will lead to claimants losing benefit because their 'attitude' or dress is regarded as unconventional.
		The Jobseekers Allowance, which comes into force in October, is very bad news - it halves the period for claiming benefit, cuts the benefit of about 95,000 claimants completely, reduces the benefit of another 250,000 and introduces a coercive labour market.
		The Jobseekers Directive will enable ES staff to compel claimants to take action to 'improve their employability'.They can be told to 'follow up a specific job advertisement' or 'register with an employment agency' Claimants may also be required to 'take steps to present themselves acceptably to employers', in the words of the JSA White Paper.

		As a consequence, proportionately more time at fortnightly jobsearch reviews can now be used to check people are actively seeking work and making best use of all available vacancy sources and to take action, including possible benefit sanction, against those who appear not to be fulfilling their responsibilities.
		The strengthened FJR is also supported by a revised and simplified Jobseeker's Agreement, which sets out individual job goals and responsibilities, and by a revised interview after 13 weeks on JSA.
		The 13 Week Review will ensure that claimants are prepared to take any suitable job from then on (some restriction to any usual occupation is permitted until that point) and that where previous jobsearch appears insufficient or ineffective they are submitted to suitable vacancies to test their continued eligibility for JSA.
