Can a citizen of uk (21)get income based jsa if they are returning to uk after a year out not working in spain

My son has been turned down for income based jsa after appeal. reason for rejection was that he could not satisfy the dwp that he was habitually resident. He has spent 20 of his 21 years in the uk. He holds a full uk passport. Has returned to the uk to get work, as it is very difficult to gain employment in spain without being fluent in spanish. I am ashamed that he was hung out to dry by dwp. If he had been anything else but british he would have now been living in a 3 bedroomed house all bills paidby now.

Answer:
Look, don't blame non-Brits for your son's problems. I can't see from what you have said why he wouldn't qualify for JSA; I suggest you try the Citizens Advice Bureau for further help.

EDIT

Just been reading up abot the Habitual Residence Test, which ironically is designed to limit access to benefits by non-Brits. It does appear that your son would have to establish that he was resident once again by living here for a period, but this should only be a few weeks - he should claim again at once. It seems that the regulations on the subject are unclear, the main point to establish is that he is intending to stay here, rather than just be visiting. It's a bit of a mess. Make a new claim tomarrow AM, and get down to the CAB. He should soon be on benefits (or hopefully working!!!!).

Good luck
wat a stupid small minded person ur. these rules r put in place to stop people takin the piss out of the system
why on earth did he go to spain to find work in the 1st place if couldn't speak the language & then it took him a year in the sun to realise why he wasn't gettin any where
if he's wants a job that bad theres plenty out there
face facts the truth is your son has been on the razz in spain for a year and now expects free money to bum around here tell him to GET A JOB
