Hi Guys,

I made a new claim for jobseekers allowance on the 21/01/09, whilst I was waiting for it to go through I secured a 2 month temporary job. However I received a letter through this morning from the Jobcentre explaining I must send in through my girlfriends student grant forms and etc...........I am abit lost what to do now because I have a job and dont they owe me for the 3 weeks I havent been working??

Can you help, I look forward to your replies.

Many Thanks
Bromarc

    Hi bromarc,

    If you've applied for JSA and you are entitled to it then you will get it for the period that you were out of work. I would send the documents that the're asking for anyhow as this will form part of your claim.

    Good Luck with the job! :)
