    They can only make you take the job if you agreed to temporary work on your job seekers agreement.
    You will rapid reclaim within 12 weeks if circs still the same and have the usual 3 waiting days. if the job is less than 24 hours per week then again they cant make you take it which is something not many jobcentre staff are aware off.
    If its just the reclaiming that worries you dont be and as you said you will be better off
    Good Luck

    As I said in my post, they cannot make you take any job you have found for yourself, temporary or not, whatever is in your JsAG.
    And Waiting Days do not have to be served if your claim links within 12 weeks of the last one-whether it is a 'rapid reclaim' or not
