Holiday while signing on JSA

Seadogs_2010

Hi All
Hope everyone is well.
I was in work up to three weeks ago when out of the blue, I along with two others were made redundant from our work due to things been very quiet.
I now sign on every fortnight on a Monday morning.
When I was working we booked a family holiday to Devon from the 30th March to the 6th April.
I would like to know the following please...

I am due to sign on the 1st of April which is a bank holiday. What happens when your signing on date is on a bank holiday? Do you just skip that signing on then go in two week later again?

Also would my benefit be affected with us going away for a week? Ive tried to read up on it but some people say it does and some say it doesn't.

Thanks for any help, im very grateful

It's a little old but this thread may help with the bank holiday problem. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3903395

thanks for the Jay
Well reading that thread I will get my JSA money one way or another. It looks like you are excused from signing on on a bank holiday and then you just go in again two weeks later.

I've just started signing on and was told yesterday that I won't need to sign on 1st April ( my usual day) it won't be until 2 weeks later on the 15th.

You're allowed a couple of weeks holiday a year on JSA, but I wouldn't mention you going unless you have to.
