I don't suppose it matters, they won't look at the weekend anyway. It'll take a while to get too as well I should think, like you said so try and get it in as early as you can

so do weekends not count then - its just working/business days

You don't get paid for first 3 days anyway so Sunday be fine.

is it from the first 3 days of registering or the job finishing? do you know this for certain? i may not be able to claim anyway... just get ni payments.

thankyou

From Dwp website: You won’t get any money for the first 7 days of your claim. These are called ‘waiting days’. In some cases, waiting days may not apply, for example, if you have already completed waiting days as part of an earlier benefit claim.

You have nothing to lose by applying today.
