you can make a claim online but till the job has ended. You will get a letter stating when your appointment is at the JC but yes could be after Xmasbrightonman123 wrote: »worried re xmas wind down, any claim may not even get seen til new year..We’ve had to remove your signature.

I wouldn't worry too much, there's still a good 10/11 days until the Christmas shut down. I would think next week will still work the same. On Saturday morning go online and make the claim, keep yourself free on Monday and your mobile handy (I made a claim on the Sunday and received a text on Monday for an appointment at 3pm the same day.) You'll then be asked to come back later in the week, I would imagine your second sign on date would be 1/1/14, so it will be done automatically.
It normally takes about 3 weeks to process (too mine 6 weeks because of a WTC roll-on!), which might take a bit longer for the Christmas shut-down.0 -
