JSA Signing On And Off

Hello everyone!, First post on here, Have been lurking around for a while before though!

Have a bit of an issue that I would like some advice on.

After losing my job in september 2011 I signed on to JSA for the first time, last week I was offered a position at a job. So I went to my benefits office on Thursday 22rd just before I started, And signed off.

After 2 days working there, I hated the job with a passion (also it turns out one of my legs cant take 9 hours of walking!!)

So I Left, Now What Is The Protocol For Signing Back On After Quitting A Job? Especially As Its Been Just Over A Week From Signing Off?!

I Know That They Can Suspend My Benefit For Upto 6 Months, Would This Be Likely?


Thanks For Any Help In Advance!!

StephenMcC.

    No, a sanction is not likely...You can do a rapid reclaim.

    Note for next time...do not sign off until you have worked more than 16 hours in the week.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Why? Pending further info on the leg I'd say it's quite likely
