Have a read through the above site. There are 2 different types, one is contribution (NIC) based and the other is means tested. You can only get either if you are under state retirement age.
Income-based JSA is unaffected if your savings are less than £6000. Thereafter it's gradually reduced, getting down to nil if you've got savings of £16000 or more.
