I think as April enjoys the odd flutter, maybe we should start the bets as to how long it will take before he is banned again.

When I was on the dole last year I was repeatedly told that I couldnt go on holiday abroad because it meant that I would have to sign off and then sign on again when I got back, however, if I wanted to stay in the UK then I could as long as I didnt miss my signing on day.

At many airports now there are huge posters up about people claiming jsa and flying off to sunnier climes for their holidays - it's called benefit fraud.

JSA is job seekers allowance - an allowance paid to someone who is unemployed and actively looking for work, if you are on holiday abroad you cannot be looking for work and therefore shouldn't claim JSA.

If you sign off and go abroad and lose your housing benefit then that's just tough.

Hi im booking my summer holiday now to go to Ibiza for the last 2weeks of July,
but i am unsure about what the rules about going on holiday whilst claim jsa are??


So does anyone have any links to any government websites where it specifics the rules about overseas holidays whilst claiming jsa please??

As i want to get that all sorted before i book the flights and hotel.



Thanks

I thought the rules were quite simple. :eek:

OP I asked the job centre about the same thing when I was claiming JSA and they told me that providing I could still sign on that I could go. They said only if it affected my signing on days did it matter. The lady did wink at me at the time so Im assuming its probably not kosher but if you can still sign on on the days that you normally do then I dont see that it will matter. They wont know in any case. If it does affect your signing day you will have to tell them and lose your money for the duration of your holiday.

Thanks Horace. You have just endorsed my earlier post

"The JSA people are well able to data-match against the border control records of people entering and leaving the country. "

Nice to see that this is being advertised.

Help please?


Is "billynomatessadcharacterhavinganADWinhisbedroomifhismumisnot watchingland" in the EU? Just to help the OP out with his holiday arrangements.

People stop rising to him! I really can't say it enough he is a troll why else would he start threads like this? Why else would he put all that rubbish in his sig? Just to wind you all up, and you all bite everytime.
