JSA unfair

Additional Information

Just seen the PM saying he cares about hard working people and those who save hard for their retirement.

I was made redundant about 6 weeks ago and subsequently signed on for JSA, for which I am entitled to receive for 6 months, after which I lose because I have savings. Why?

I along with many others have worked hard and saved hard, as they prefer and encourage us to do, so why are we then not allowed JSA after 6 months for as long as it takes us to get another job?

This is unfair and not correct. If I had whittled my savings away on fancy material items, flash holidays, smoking, drinking, etc... and was left with no savings, then I would continue to get support. Why?

Can someone tell me why? I would be grateful if this question could be put to the PM or other politicians in power.
