JSA after leaving agency work

So, my agency "released" me from Amazon, this is normal of them after a certain amount of time.
Will i have to wait 3 months to claim JSA or can i do so straight away?

    you can make a JSA claim immediately. They will ask your reason for leaving and confirm that with your employer (agency?) to check that you did not leave on your own accord or were released due to misconduct (which can lead to a sanction for x weeks)

    Chances are they won't do this. When I recently went for a new jobseekers interview I asked if they wanted to see a signed letter I had from my previous employer stating that is been made redundant, but they said they weren't interested. They just take your word for it.
