Hello, any information would be of great help.  I have been out of the benefit loop for a while…

I am helping a Cl who is an Italian National; she has been in the UK for approximately 2 years.  During this time she has worked for a 6 month period and a 3 month period.
Cl is single with no children and has Bi Polar Disorder. 
Cl was claiming JSA, however, her entitlement has now stopped because she has been receiving benefit for 6 months.
Apart from being able to demonstrate she has a genuine prospect of work are there any other options available to her?

No worries I have read discussions below - EEA national JSA after expiry of “worker status” (although still a little confused!!) thank you.
