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.
JB may be paid for up to 156/312/390 days of unemployment. However, the duration of benefit varies according to the age of the person, the Class of qualifying contribution number of total contributions paid since entry into insurance and the circumstances of the claim (see below).

If JB expires then I think you may need to apply separately for means tested JA.
