Have just started working less than 16 hours per week self employed with no wage right now. Can i claim JSA? -

Yes you can,if you have the relevant contrbutionsWhen my husband started out as self-employed he was working less than 16 hours a week and got JSA with their approval.Also ask the job centre about start up business supportas you may be entitled to some financial support for going self-employedand a one-off grant for your business, usually around ��500,which must be paid into your business bank account
