I am due to finish JB mid July and have heard nothing from SW about transferring to JA.
Do I need to apply for JA or will they just automatically switch me over?
Should I mention it to them or just wait for them to inform me?
you get a form to fill as its means tested. Sometimes the wait can be 12 weeks in between i.e. 12 weeks with no money. If you haven't heard anything, call in to social welfare office and you should be able to get the form there.
