<p>The rates for Jobseeker’s Allowance were originally based on the equivalent provisions for Income Support, which were in force in October 1996, when Jobseeker’s Allowance replaced the element of that benefit for those who are unemployed, on low or no income or other financial means and are available and looking for work. The rate has been reviewed since then in line with the relevant legislation for the uprating of benefits.</p>
