Part of Pensions Bill [Lords] – in a Public Bill Committee at 6:15 pm on 5 July 2011.
The point that I was making is that what is time-limited for six months is contributory JSA, which has a threshold for an occupational pension. After the six months, when contributory JSA stops—I think that is what the hon. Lady is mainly worried about—there is income-based JSA, in which case the occupational pension is simply one item of income counted against the threshold for entitlement. Having an occupational pension per se does not prevent a person from getting income-based JSA.
