i was overdrawn by £100,89p, now apparently the above says they cannot eat my JSA up, as its counted as an 'income based benefit'
here is the .gov site with the info, so what are my chances then ?

i rang up internet banking and they noted on my account what i had said, told me to bring proof of my JSA with me and discuss this with the branch, my local branch is like fort nox when trying to talk to them, even paying bills gets you 100 questions!
