Claiming JSA & Received a Job Offer

My claim for JSA will be ending at the end of Sept, but I've just received a job offer :j. However due to it being in the public sector and is subject to a CRB check, I'm not due to start until Nov, so I'll be without money for some weeks. As I'm due to sign on tomorrow, do I have to declare this? I'm not trying to defraud the system in any way, I'm just aware that a lot can happen in companies in a couple of months and it would be nice to be paid my remaining 3 weeks worth of JSA?

    Would you still be job hunting between now and getting the CRB check?

  • Yes, I will still be looking as even though I know I would enjoy the job and have accepted verbally (haven't signed any paperwork as yet), the hours are awkward for me. Would I have to declare this job offer, however starting my comments above?
