In England you are not supposed to leave the uk if you are on jobseekers allowance as you have to be available for work immediately if a job becomes available. But I dont know if Scottish rules are different regarding this though. It might be that you can go if you wont be away when you are supposed to sign on but I am not sure about that. At least you are trying to be 100% honest about it and trying to stick to the rules. most would just go and not say anything but this might be illegal so I am not advising you to do this!!!0

If you go abroad, you have to sign off and make a rapid reclaim on your return as far as I know.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
It all depends on what benefit you're on. If its job seekers you have to cancel your claim I think and claim back quick when you come back. If its income support then you are allowed abroad. Hope this helps
