•To continue to qualify for ‘old-style’ JSA, you must usually satisfy jobseeking conditions.

•If you do not meet the jobseeking conditions, your JSA may end.

•You and your partner may have to take part in work-focused interviews for income support (IS), ‘old-style’ JSA (as the partner of the claimant) or ‘old-style’ ESA.

•Some claimants of IS or ESA may be required to undertake work-related activity.

•If you do not take part in work-focused interviews or undertake work-related activity and you cannot show a good cause, you may be given a sanction.

•If you disagree with a decision that you are not entitled to benefit and/or to impose a sanction, you can apply for a revision or a supersession (see Chapter 56), or appeal against the decision (see Chapter 57). You must apply for a mandatory reconsideration before you can appeal.
