I am concerned that I will be out of work for several months due to the seasonal nature of my occupation. I am entitled to Jobseekers benefit. How long does Jobseekers benefit last?

Does it switch to Jobseekers allowance at some point?

Thanks in advance.
 
See section (g) here.
If JB expires then I think you may need to apply separately for means tested JA.
