answer text <p>Guidance is provided in the Decision Makers Guide. Please see link to <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/251790/dmg-vol4-ch20.pdf" target="_blank">Chapter 20</a> for the basic conditions of entitlement (20003) and <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/278886/dmgch21.pdf" target="_blank">Chapter 21</a> for the contribution-based conditions (21051 onwards).</p><p> </p><p>With limited exceptions, only Class 1 (employed) contributions count towards Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA). This means that self-employed people who make class 2 (self-employed) contributions do not normally qualify for JSA. The exceptions are Share Fishermen, and Volunteer Development Workers employed abroad. People in these categories pay a special class 2 National Insurance Contribution at a higher rate, which enables them to qualify for contribution-based Jobseeker's Allowance.</p><p> </p> more like this
