Have a great trip ... Hopefully by the time you are back certain people will have been banned!
Gone ... or have I?0 -
Sorry, but directgov is right, and the BDC phone advisor is wrong. You need to ask for, and complete, form BF5 to notify JCP of an intended period abroad.0

If you're working full-time, you're entitled to a statutory minimum of 28 days holiday a year. As you're working, I assume you're earning? If you combine the former with the latter, you too could have a holiday in the Canaries...How do i get on all these benefits i want to go to the canaries..

Whoever you contacted was talking rubbish. You are not entitled to income support if you are not in the country.“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”

As far as I am aware you can be out of the country for four weeks before you lose entitlement to IS.0 -

You are correct, IS can continue to be paid if someone has a short holiday.0
