yes you can
I've been unemployed and on JSA since January so that was a pretty big question in my mind.
I start in August 3rd and can get half my montly salary by the 15th. The official info I got when I emailed the HR director was:

You can claim up to six advances within 12 months of starting. Payment will be made to your usual bank/building society account by the [/FONT]
[FONT="]15th of the month. The amount available reduces as follows: [/FONT]

I got a call from Manpower about a week ago, for 2198. I am yet to receive a call for 2 other exercises that I applied for, I guess I will give them a call tomorrow.
Why did you apply for Abeerdeen and Newcastle if you live in London
Edit: so, am I correct in saying you have applied for 30 excercises and only recived a reply for 4 of them ?0
