hello, i was supposed to sign on on friday, but i have been ill with food poisioning all week. i phoned a number to inform them i wouldn't be able to attend, but there was no answer which was very annoying! i'm just wondering if i went to the job centre today and explained, what would happen and would i have to do the whole process again? thank you in advance anyone

What is wrong with that? I am still very unwell

I would try and get down there and explain what happened. When I had food poisoning immodium plus worked within minutes, maybe give that a try if you are still suffering.

I'm not wondering about going down there, i'm simply wondering what will happen

Have you got a doctor's note as you have suffered from this for over a week?

You have 5 days after your sign-on day to attend the JCP and explain your situation. If you don't, the claim is closed. If you attend before the 5 day period, then you can sign a little paper where it says you where I'll and couldn't attend. You're claim will carry on like normal unless stated.

If don't go in after the 5 day window, then the claim is closed and you need to file for a rapid reclaim.

I think that's about it. Hope this helps.

This is exactly the information i was 'wondering'. That's all. Thank you

That doesn't preclude having seen a doctor.

You dont need a sick note from the doctor to say your unwell, I had my parents go into job centre for me and pickup a form it got filled in and handed into job centre next day i got my payment as normal.

Not sure why people try to think there above everyone on this site.

Most people who are so ill with food poisoning that they've been unable to leave the house for over a week would have seen a doctor. It's not an unreasonable thing to ask.
