Sign back on JSA ???

Hi,

I signed off JSA last week with the belief that I will begin working on Tuesday.

Today roughly two hour ago I received a phone call from the company saying that my start date is deferred because of some paper work. I was told that I am definitely hired but it seems that the company would need more time to get everything sorted. It might just takes a few day, but it can be up to 2 weeks.

When I rang DWP to sign off last week I told them when I will be started. So in this case do I need to contact them again because of a change of circumstances, and whether it is possible for me to reclaim JSA till the day I actually start working?

Also I was on work program before. They have closed my file too. Do I need to give them a call about this?

Thanks.

    Telephone your JCP in the morning, as they may not have processed closing your JSA claim yet.

    It's likely you'll have to make a rapd reclaim online, however, ie covering the next fortnight.
    Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer. If they wanted morality or the view of the IoD or Bank they'd ask them.

    Thank you so much for the advice

    Just Rang the DWP and was told that I would just need to go online and make a rapid reclaim until I actually start working.
    Thank you Mersey!!!!!!!!
