    Just to clarify you won't be entitled to either JSA or Mortgage Interest relief for the period you're abroad, however as it will be a rapid reclaim on your return you will not have to wait another 13 weeks for relief and will receive it again immediately, you'll need to let them know before you go away otherwise they will just close your claim from the last item you signed on which will cause more hassle on your return.

    Hi, sorry, need to clarify something. When you do a rapid reclaim, do you have to fill in forms, provide bank account/savings details etc again? I had a right hassle with trying to find some old share certificates the first time round, and seem to have lost them again, so don't want to go through that again.
