    no JCP are open, not sure if you will be excused signing tht day, they will inform you at your signing the fortnight before.

    It's a normal work day so unless yours are short staffed due to annual leave expect to be there.

    I sign on again 06.12.2013 and then my next signing on again will be 20.12.2013 and I will get paid on 25th but that's christmas day so will I get my JSA early then? or just as normal?

    It's Christmas day on 25th not Christmas eve.

    The answer was a bit abbreviated and should have read:

    You will be paid on Xmas eve, as the 25th is a bank holiday.

    Hey that's excellent news.

    My two weekly payment of £161 is due on the 25th and the other two weekly payment of £438 is due on the 26th.

    They should all come in on the 24th!!!
  • I hear, due to Ian Duncan Smiths new rules, the Jobcentre will be opening Christmas Eve AND Christmas Day AND Boxing Day but only between 7am to 11am so everyone signing will have to come in between those hours. The same thing, I hear, will also apply on New Years Day.
