JSA - Confused??

I started a new job on 28th Feb 2011 after claiming JSA for the past 7 weeks, I received a payment frm JSA on the 24th Feb but I amnow totally confusd as to wether or not i wil receive another payment now when i phone and sign off. I cannot afford to get to my new job at the moment as I don't get paid until the 25th of the month. Any advice would be really appreciated.

    A) if you don't contact JCP to close your claim you'll be signed off and receive nothing.
    B) if you received a payment on 24th Feb was your signing day Mon 21st ? if so you will be owed JSA from 24th feb to 27th Feb if you contact JCP to sign off.
    C) too late to ask for any help from JCP to cover your travel costs as you've already started work

    Dugdale's spot on.

    You could ask for a crisis loan to cover you to payday though.
