Jobseeker’s
Allowance is the main benefit for people of working age who are
out of work or work less than 16 hours a week on average. If
you're eligible, it is paid while you're looking for work. Find
out more information including how to apply online.
To get Jobseeker's Allowance you must be:_
# available for and actively seeking work
between 18 and State Pension age
'# working less than 16 hours per week on average.
Jobseeker's Allowance isn't normally paid to
16 or 17 year olds (except in special cases).
If you’re a man aged 60 to 64, you may be
better off claiming Pension Credit |

Immigration
Issues
On-line Help
"I
find Immigration issues take considerable time to resolve as the
Border Agency has such a huge case-load - as well as a back-log
they are still trying to cope with." |

The UK
Border Agency is responsible for securing the UK borders and
controlling migration in the UK.
They manage
border control for the UK, enforcing immigration and customs
regulations.
They also
consider applications for permission to enter or stay in the UK,
and for citizenship and asylum.
The Identity
Card system is extended to sponsored skilled workers.
100,000 identity
cards for foreign nationals have been issued since they were
introduced in November 2008, and they are now being rolled out
to more categories of migrant -
starting with skilled workers who are here under the
points-based system.
