And there are so many ways that ill people ARE and have been screwed over by the system, I just wish they had tried harder to go for real accuracy.

But you didn't know!...
You formed a very wrong assumption in your head, a 2 min search would have showed you that was wrong and yet you are content to not only convince yourself of this but others, this is how fake news works.. this is how ignorance spreads.. this is why people vote tory... because of misinformation.
Contribution-based JSA
You may get contribution-based JSA if you’ve paid enough Class 1 National Insurance contributions in the 2 tax years before the current benefit year.
National Insurance Credits can count for part of this, if you get them.
A benefit year starts on the first Sunday in January and ends a year later.
Example
You make a claim on 20 February 2016. This falls in the 2016 benefit year. This means your entitlement will be based on your National Insurance record for the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 tax years.
