signing off jsa

hmc

hi all
im going to sign off hopefully next week
im going self employed cleaning 16hrs
im seeing my lone parent advisor to do it
so she will sort out all the wtc etc
i think im entitled to the back to work grant and back to work allowance but a bit confused as i was on income support for a few yrs then jsa since oct so dont know if this will effect anything?

what do i need to take with me to the job centre? list of names im cleaning for?
thanks

Do not take a list of customer names. That is confidential information that should not be shared with the jobcentre.

you get it weekly? I was under the impression its just a one off £100 or £250 depending if you have children or not. Not sure why it's more if you have kids though.

its 2 seperate things ones a grant and ones every week for 52 wks

My understanding is:

The grant is a one off dependent on circumstances so £100 or £250 .
The allowance is payable if you have been out of work for 52+ weeks @ £40 pw.
