does savings affect Job Seekers Allowance provided no other benefits are in payment?

Yes, if you have over £6,000 in savings it affects your claim.  I don't think you can claim it if you have over £6,000.

Both my sister and I have had the same letter. We are at college studying an nvq level 2. I called the number and told them we are students but that doesn't matter! They said we should have still been paying, and when i asked how, they didn't know.\n  The only way to get around it is signing on (jobseekers), but you can only do this if you do less than 16 hours a week.\n   My sister was working part time aswell as going to college and she still got the same letter. Because of the hours she worked, she didn't have to pay tax or national insurance yet they still tell her she owes nearly £300!

Yes, you do qualify.  Follow this link (to read it you'll need Adobe Reader which is free to download) and scroll down to Table 10.3 which lists all the benefits you can access.\n\nhttp://www.dwp.gov.uk/asd/asd5/rports2003-2004/rport206/Main-3.pdf\n\nOr contact a local advice agency such as your Council's social services or a Citizens Advice Bureau.

They do,  but the banks and building societies delay as long as they can.  Ive got a Chelsea Building society postal savings account which is guaranteed to be 0.6% above the Bank of England base rate. So it will automatically rise from 5.35% to 5.6% now that the new rate applies.  I dont know if it is still available to new savers though.

As an idea you could try your local tax office,either your last employers tax office or the one closest to where you live.Or try Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs website.When i had zero (claimed)income i used this to have my interest paid gross of income tax.It doesn't answer your question exactly but I'm only trying to help you.Don't let people diss. you 'cause they don't know your circumstances.

I am a student nurse, and NO, your bursary will not affect your benefits, if anything, you will be better off.\nYou will be entitled to extra bursary for having two children, and maybe extra government benefits which I am not sure about.  Your uni should have a financial advisor who will help you get all you are entitled to.  Your tax bracket will drop (but not automatically, you have to go and get it from your tax office,) so any work you do will be taxed accordingly.  You should be entitled to a council tax benefit, (if you are not getting it already) but again, you have to go to the tax office to claim it.\nStudent life is ace, you get a student uni card which gets you discounts here and there, and there are not many courses available which offer a bursary, so make the most of it, study hard, and in no time at all you will be getting a decent wage and being an excellent role model for your kids - good luck!!\n\nBe honest cos you will be surprised, there are alot of benefits out there for someone in your position - go for it!

The whole purpose of the Housing Selection Scheme (in NI at least) is to determine Housing Stress. That is to determine who has the greater need. Such a Scheme cannot discriminate against and must favour those deemed in most need. So yes those who are Homeless or vulnerable will get priority. But don't go presenting urself as homeless at your local Housing Executive or Council office just to "jump" the list. There are measures in place to test intentionality and priority. Anyone who works in Social Housing will tell you that the House Sales Scheme has made the job a lot harder as we work with ever declining stock and higher expectation. At least half the people we house in our district are working but this cannot be a factor when u do a Housing Assessment nor an allocation. Neither can nationality, race, gender or religion. If u have at least indefinite leave to remain or asylum seeker status u can be placed on the waiting list and ur housing need tested.

Each year the IRS sends me information, based upon my employment, on how much money I have saved for retirement...it would only seem likely that they can give you the information you are seeking.  Do not know if it would be free.

the hospital question, no there are some prorams availible to help pay or to pay in full if you are really below income levels. unemployment: yes mostly but if you haven't found a job or got called back there is an emergency contingency.the question on poor people, yes we do and it is deplorable and heart wrenching. and for the last question,yes we do there doesn't seem to be much of a middle road. you either have money or you have to struggle with what you have.I hope this info helps

no, until you reach the retirement age you will not receive any benefits,

same answer as before....you only have to tell them if you haven't paid enough National Insurance to qualify for contribution based JSA.\nIf you haven't & you have money stashed away that you dont declare, you are committing benefit fraud.

It depends upon the regulations of the PF.\nUsually in most of the PF there is a clause that if benefits are not claimed within a specified period (3 or 5 years) then these benefits lapse and are distributed among the remainig members of the PF. If your PF has such a clause then you would not be able to get your benefits as you have not claimed them for the last 14 years.\n\nIf your PF does not have such a clause then you would be able to get back the amount.

Nope you ned to see the people @ the jobcentre UNLESS you prepared to break the law & do it illegaly - which aint right.  They will give you a temp N.I number to use for employment until you are issued your new one - you pay more tax for a while - which is refunded but looks like you going to have to suffer the wait mate.

Non-Salary Compensation would include any "reward" not a part of your base salary ... stock options, or a simple thing like a special parking space, your moving expenses to relocate, a computer, use of a cell phone, health club membership, etc.

It sounds as though it is. If you worked in CA, then you paid CA SDI - it's not optional. You can see the rates by following the link below.\n\nIf it's for a prior year, it would also show up on your W-2
