Anything Else?
If the person you are caring for goes into Hospital, a
Nursing home or abroad for treatment you must notify the JobCentre Plus.
If JSA is overpaid on a joint claim as a result of a failure by you, or your partner, to tell us about any change of circumstances, we will recover that overpaid amount from either of you.
If you are unsure as to whether your status or current circumstances will affect your claim, please contact your local JobCentre Plus for further advice and assistance.
