You can make the claim online then they will call you to arrange to go in. You should do it ASAP as they won't, for instance, backdate JSA as you won't be able to 'prove' he was actively looking for work.
Even if he received a lump sum that puts him over the threshold for receiving benefits, depending on his NI contributions, he'll still be entitled to JSA for 6 months.Make £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)
December £361.54, November £322.28, October £288.52, September £374.30, August £223.95, July £71.45, June £251.22, May£119.33, April £236.24, March £106.74, Feb £40.99, Jan £98.54) Total for 2017 - £2,495.100 -
suggest if you haven't you put it on the benefits board.Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked0
