Jobseeker's allowance (JSA) is paid if you are unemployed, available for and actively seeking work. There are two forms of this benefit, contribution-based JSA and income-based JSA.
You can find out more about JSA in our Factsheet F46 - jobseeker's allowance and also in Disability Alliance's Disability Rights Handbook. The handbook gives detailed information on availability and capability for work, the jobseeker's agreement, restrictions on looking for work and JSA sanctions.
