Have a job offer, should I cancel Jobseeker's Allowance?

Hi all, your help would be appreciated :o

I've been on Job Seeker's allowance for the last few months, but I've recently had a job offer. Am I still entitled to Job Seeker's allowance? My initial reaction is that I should be until I start work in January.

  • Sign off the day before you start work. Even if it falls halfway through your sign on week or falls during your week where you don't sign, you will still be entitled to a payment for that period up to the day you sign off.

    If you had been signing on for 6 months or longer, you'd be entitled to follow on payments for 4 weeks.
