I have now contacted the citizen advise and they have confirmed with tier 2 visa I can claim new style JSA

My only question is if I claim for this will it affect my future applications for ILR.
New Style Jobseekers Allowance is not a public fund as this benefit is based on your (working) contributions to the UK over the last 2 relevant tax years.

Based on the UK health minister this situation is expected to last 3 to 6 month and I guess at some point I will run out of money.
New Style Jobseeker's Allowance is paid for a maximum of 182 days and is a maximum of only just over £70 a week. Your earnings, and any payment you are getting from a pension, can affect the amount you may receive.

You can't take low income benefits like Universal Credit, as this is a public fund.
