    Yes, you should lie. That's always a winner. Why not lie about your circumstances and say you live alone when infact you're married? Oh how about saying you're disabled? More money for all!

    I already quit.

    Let me rephrase my question, are you even allowed to go abroad if you on JSA, or will they sanction you.

    In reality if you are away for one night, and it doesn't affect your signing on day they won't know about it.

    Whether it's right or wrong to tell them is your choice, as a tax payer along with all the other tax payers I can say that it is wrong.

    well its not on my sign on day.

    and of course, if you do this, they will definitely find out.

    You are not entitled to JSA if you are in another country.

    It's up to you whether or not you tell them, but what if they need to get hold of you and want you to come in? It's a risk that only you should decide whether or not to take.

    It wouldn't matter. Let's say you leave the UK tomorrow and come back Friday. You are in the UK on each of Thursday and Friday even if only for a few hours so you wouldn't lose any payment.
