No it doesn't. Contribution based JSA will finish after six months, then, depending...
on your circumstances, for instances having savings over £16,000, it would stop. If you have savings between £6k and £16k, you will get a proportion of JSA on income based JSA. If you have less than £6k, you will get the same amount as contribution based.
There are certain other criteria such as owning a house etc. Best thing is to ring the advice line and ask Gellers because as I say, it will be based on your circumstance. Bear in mind, contribution based JSA is based on the previous two tax years and the amount you've paid in NI1/NI2/NI3. Point is, as a back up, if you have nothing else, there is the income based side, which is the same rate, unless, as above.
