Been accepted to Uni, what do I tell jobcentre?

I got accepted into a Uni starting 25th September, and am on JSA now, I do know I will lose that, but do I tell jobcentre now that I am moving, as I am worried they will stop money now as I only need a temp job.

Also can I get travelling expenses down to see the Uni, if I tell them I only have an inverview for them?

    Well at the moment you are still jobseeking, are you not?

    I wouldn't have thought you had to tell them until you are due to start at Uni.

    Someone will correct me if I am wrong!

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Well you could have permanent work and then give your notice in.

    when I got into uni years ago my new deal advisor used to let me sign on with her so I didn't get hounded by the people downstairs. I did get a temp job later before uni.
