JSA payment

hop someone on here can help, i have tried loads of time to phone JCP, but just seem to wait for ages, i give up after 30 mins.

I went to my local JCP to sort out my JSA on friday 11th November (interview to go over my details ect, and to give me a book to log my job searches and sign some papers).

on 25th I got a letter saying I can claim.

I also have to go to my local JCP to sign on and have an appointment to help with job searches and go over my CV on friday 9th December

Does anyone have any ideas on when i could expect to be paid?

Having looked around, seems like my situation is just dragging on and on, with people signing on 2 weeks after the interview :mad:

thanks
