    You are not allowed to go away abroad whilst on JSA.

    You are allowed ten working days (I think) a year if you are on holiday in the UK.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Just so you all know, I contacted the jobcentre this morning and explained. And now I'm going in this afternoon to fill in their form and they said that should all be ok!
