You'll need the names of anyone you live with - whether they're family members or not. You might need to give information about their job, benefits and income, but you can still apply if you don't know. Try and get it as soon as you can or your JSA claim might be delayed. If you're having trouble finding information you can contact your nearest Citizens Advice for help.

Take a photo or screen-shot of the message that says your claim has been sent - you might need this later to prove when you first claimed. Telephone: Telephone Welsh language : Textphone: Relay UK - if you can't hear or speak on the phone, you can type what you want to say: then You can use Relay UK with an app or a textphone.

Make a note of the date and time you call the Jobcentre Plus. Also write down the name of the person you spoke to. You might need these details if you need to prove when you started your application. You might be able to ask for your JSA claim to be valid from an earlier date - this is called 'backdating'. You could get JSA for up to 3 months before you applied. You can only backdate your claim if you have a good reason - for example a close relative died or you were given wrong advice by the Jobcentre.

You'll usually need to have looked for a job and been available for work from the day you want your JSA to start. If this wasn't possible, you can still ask to backdate your claim but you'll need a good reason.

This can be the same reason you give for wanting to backdate. When you apply you'll be asked when you want the claim to start. Give the date you'd have applied if you could, for example the date you were given wrong advice. You'll need to give evidence to show why you didn't apply earlier. For example, if the Jobcentre gave you wrong information you could provide emails or letters showing what they told you.

You'll also need to prove you've been job hunting and available for work. Use a benefits calculator to check how much JSA you can get, and how your other benefits will be affected. All benefits, pensions and allowances are usually paid into your bank, building society or credit union account. You may have to wait up to 7 days after applying for your JSA to start, and up to 2 weeks after that to get your first payment. You do not need to pay this money back, and it will not affect the amount of Universal Credit you get.
