Do I have to wait three months (lieu of notice period) before claiming New Job Seekers Allowance

Hi there, I have been made redundant, as of August 1st. My Final redundancy payout which I will receive on the 25th August will include 3 months pay in lieu of notice. With regard to claiming New Job Seekers Allowance I have read that I need to wait until 3 months have passed before applying as technically I’m still employed during the in lieu period. Can anyone confirm if this is true. Do I have to wait till I get my P45 before claiming?

You won't be able to claim New Style JSA until after those 3 months.

Claim JSA as soon as your employment ends or the date on the P45 no need to wait 3 months if paid PILON.0

Check whether you would be better claiming UC if you are eligible https://www.gov.uk/benefits-calculatorsInformation I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
