Jobseekers Allowance, Rapid Reclaim...What happens?

Posts: 12 Forumite
Need advice, I came off jsa in February because of a relative passing, and me and the family went and stayed down south with my grandad for a couple of weeks. So, I signed off saying I wasn't available to work at the time.
I am now wanting to sign back on, would I do this under a rapid reclaim or would it be a completely new claim? This is my first time being on jsa and this is my first reclaim.
If I do a repaid reclaim what would happens? Does it go back to the beginning like a new claim, you start signing on for 6 months and then do a course or scheme or do you go back to where you left off? I am confused because I cant find any information anywhere on what actually happens?
Oh, and how do you do a rapid reclaim?
Please help and Thank you

Unless you've been signed off for more than 6 months, you go back on the system in the same place as when you left it.0
