i have applied for JSA earlier this week, and got a text message today about details to attend an appointment at my local job centre to complete my claim.

at the bottom it says 'Remember to bring the information requested'

Hmmm you might have to contact them and ask. Could it be proof of savings.. bank statements or the like... or ID.

Did you get a phone call to book the interview at the jobcentre or just the text message. As standard they usually want to see a hard copy of you cv, 2 proofs of ID and your P45 if you have one or P60. Sometimes other proofs are required but you should be told about that when the interview is booked usually.

from what i read on their site, I was expecting to get a phone call, and maybe go over some of my application, but I only got a text this morning.


thanks

It's a new system, they just text now if they can.

Technically you don't need to provide any information if they haven't asked for it, but this would only delay your claim, give them a ring and ask them

Either call the contact centre on 08000556688 or just take what I advised and then if they need more you can provide it later. What I advised in the first post is what we ask everyone to take!

also, do i get confirmation on the day if i can claim, or does it take a few days and i'll hear via post later?

thanks

You might get an indication if you can but the actual answer will be in the post several days possibly a week or two later.

I was wondering the exact same thing when I received my txt. All I was asked for when I went there was proof of ID and a CV, I had brought god knows how many different things (payslips, bank account statements and rent contract) just in case lol.
