Where a share fisherman is in receipt of JSA at the date of application, this would not necessarily mean that he has ceased to trade. There can be periods when a share fisherman is unable to put to sea and the special contribution paid allows him to claim JSA in such periods. However, it may still be relevant to include earnings from his occupation as a share fisherman. Where a share fisherman is not in receipt of JSA at the date of application but has received it within the assessment period, no account should be taken of the JSA.
