Oh so sorry to hear this tinks, you prob don't know me but I feel like I know you from your posts. Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but just wanted to offer my condolences.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

You can ring the JC in the morning and they will send out a form for you to sign. You then have to return the form and payment will be released. It will be paid to you a few days late though.

My daughter had to get the form through the post when she was ill and couldn't sign on. Her JSA was paid three days late and she also lost a small amount because she wasn't actively seeking and available for work when she was ill.

ah, if thats the case we may as well go and sign on, cant afford to lose any money or get payment late

thanks for the help

I didn't want to read and run, I just wanted to say how truly sorry I am for your loss. I don't know the answer to your question, but there should be a helpline/advice/query telephone number for your signing office. Give them a call. they should understand that you are not up to attending tomorrow, but if possible I think your OH should go. Once again, I really am sorry about your mum.

I truly hope that you have been spared the sudden alcholic death my dad had because it still haunts me so much I cant go back to that hospital, it was horrific for my step mum, sister and I and it isnt fadeing after over three years.

Look after yourself and dont beat yourself up about your mams problems and the way that you felt about them before she died, parents arnt perfect and nor are children but the bond is still there as is the love.

Oh tttb, i am so sorry,
my thoughts are with you, anytime anyone tells me they have lost their mum it brings a lump to my throat.
I have never lost a child or a husband but losing my mam was truly the worst thing that has happened in my life. That was 25 years ago and i still think of her often shed a tear. I felt a little bit of me went with her.
Notihing anyone can say will ease the pain but it will get easier, eventually, I promise.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
When I lost my Mam last year, I found that it helped me to keep occupied and busy.
It's still hard and I miss her so much, but I try to remember the good times.
Hope that you are holding up.
