How long does it generally take to receive payment after JSA re-application?

So i have had to apply for JSA again. Their system screwed up my first re-application (so they said), so now i have had to reapply. I applied again today, so when am i likely to receive a payment? I kind of need money ASAP!

    Usually takes a few weeks. You'll be given an appointment date to go into to the job centre. On that day you'll be asked to sign on then payment is made a few days after that. It would more than likely be after christmas now, sorry to tell you.

    I kind of expected to be paid after Xmas anyway, poppy. Thanks for that. I know my jobcentre is actually quite fast in moving things along, so hopefully things might get sorted before NY or just after if i'm fortunate.
