    Question has been asked before and it should be in agreement you signed up to.

    Your meant to sign off and then do a rapid reclaim when you come back and you may need to inform the JCP your going away. The other option is to not inform the job centre and just go but keep on looking for work and be prepared to end your holiday if you have an interview.

    Take your pick.

    This is only if leaving the country.

    You are entitled to take two weeks holiday but you must tell the job center and you must be available to attend interviews or start a job if the opportunity arises.
