don't they track passport numbers and crossreference with the DWP database these days? it's not that hard!

No, this government or any subsidiary (DWP) can't keep track of there own data nevermind data held at an airport.

It almost sounds like your comparing our government as a competent organisation, laughable.

erm, so the DWP have no way of finding out if someone has gone abroad in between signing days? they must find out somehow, otherwise why would anyone bother declaring their holidays?

The only way they would know is if someone grassed you up.

I have just been abroad for a week while claiming contribution based jsa.

The holiday was booked and paid for long before I knew that I was losing my job. Fully inclusive and spent nothing whilst there.

I have ended up not receiving benefit for almost 2 weeks due to waiting periods. I had to sign off and then reclaim.

Whilst away I had 1 job interview by phone and applied for 3 others. What I do is very specialist and worldwide. I am just as capable of job seeking from Africa as I am from the uk.

The system is all a bit silly really. The extra paperwork involved (plus 3 additional visits to js) probably cost more than the £65. Nowadays people apply for jobs on line- does it really matter where they are at the time?

Hi,

I have been on JSA for about 2 months now, its the first time I have been on it so not sure about the ins and outs. I am going on holiday with my parents for 2 weeks on 29th June to Turkey, my sign on day is Thursday 30th June. When should I tell them because I feel that if I tell them now then they will think I won't be looking for immediate work in the lead up to the holiday when I genuinely am.

Many Thanks

NickyBat

Next time you sign on will be fine.
