holidays and JSA

[twankie]

what happens if you re away on holiday when you have to sign on? It would be in the UK, camping and I don't think I could return all the way home just for that one day.

Then I think you don't get your benefit as you're unavailable for work.

you'd have to miss signing on for that week, get booted out of the system then reapply. Its a pain in the ass.

I've missed signing on before now because I had to go for an interview. Its a massive hassle, and one of the many reasons why the jobcentre actually impedes a job hunt rather than helps.

Ask them, you won't be the first person to have encountered this

You are not seeking work so have to sign off then start all over :( sorry been there done it

I think if you are in the U K on holiday it's ok You have to tell them and give them contact details in case a job turns up ( fat chance) If you go abroad you have to sign off and then sign on again (but accelerated system)

From what I recall, if your in the UK it's fine, tell them the details of your trip, and arrange to sign on a different day.

It's only when you go abroad that you have to sign off/ sign back on.

As far as I know you can go on holiday in the UK but not abroad and still claim. And change the signing on times.
