I heard I may have to wait until 6 months after, is there anyway to get passed this. Is it worth just trying anyway?

"I quit my job ..." ... so no JSA, if you tell them you quit, rather than got 'made redundant' or was "forced out because I'm suffering from stress" ("suffering from stress" is a good reason for why you didn't do anything to get another job since Feb & why you now want 6 months back JSA) ....

Even if no JSA, you will be able to claim dozens of other Benefits ...

... and from what you say, you HAVE paid Tax & NI in the past (unlike many of those who receive benefits ..), so I suggest you go get your share before they start 'cracking down' ...

I would give it a go. However im not sure if you will be able to claim it immediately. You must obviously look for work as well but im sure your aware of that. Try signing up with some temping agencys to try and get work whilst your looking for a permament job.
