Job offer and JSA

Speaking with experience of being a personal adviser I would suggest you do tell them at your appointment and take the offer letter with you. You will not be signed off there and then but you will be advised that you do still need to be looking for TEMPORARY work to fill the gap until you start the job. You will still need to provide proof of jobsearh, three steps each week and you will still need to attend any adviser appointments/signing days that come up in between now and the job start. As mentioned by someone else there may be grants etc that you qualify for so you need to make sure that your adviser is aware of what is happening so they can make sure you get everything you are entitled to. They can also help you to apply for tax credits if you are eligible and fast track the application so that your money is sorted out quicker than if you did it yourself.
