Hi everybody,
following situation: i worked about 5 years in a very stressfull IT environement.
I got quite ill at one point so I decided to look for alternative employment preferably part time.
For transition and to ease the financial burden I applied for job seekers benefit.
I stated in my application that I was looking for part -time work. I also got a GP cert that at this moment in time I was fit for part time work.
I now got the decision that I am not entiteled to Job seekers benefit because I was not available for full time work.
I was informed that I might qualify for job seekers credits and that I am entitled to appeal the decision within 3 weeks from today.
Question is would an appeal have any chance of success?
Second question: if my personal circumstances change and I was available for full time would I just apply a second time for unemployment benefits?
Sorry I am not very smart with this as I have never claimed before..
Sorry this might be better in the section - if the Mod could move it.
Redundancy, unemployment & jobseekers entitlements
