    Rapid reclaim periods used to be 26 weeks, if memory serves. A quick Google search indicates that this is still the case, so you should be okay.

    Edit: I should add that, since you're now working part time, whether you are able to claim depends on how many hours you're working. So get in touch with your local JCP ASAP.

    No you won't be able to as you are now working.

    It really makes not a lot of difference, just settle down with a cup of tea on the phone and crash trough the questions.
