    Due to a funeral, I am due to sing on Monday, but I’m in Scotland at a Funeral, and back on Friday, if I call them on Monday, will they be kind to me?

    I had to go at short notice, as it was a accent, and I’m very upset and in-shock with the sad news I got yesterday.

    All well and good, but I don't think this would make a good forum.

    I honestly don't know, but Monday is a bank holiday, I presume wherever you sign for social welfare will probably be closed. Try phoning them anyway.

    Oh and support: ? for the forum...

    I might be english, but I wasn't aware you had to sing for your supper over here!

    You should be fine. Chances are they'll just ask you to come in and sign on as soon as you can. When I was on the dole I remember missing a signing due to illness and I just presented myself at the office the next day and signed on then.

    Irish147, I appologise for being sarcastic, I was just trying to raise your spirits. I used to regulary miss my signing day as I was seeing a girl out of the area. I just used to sign on again saying I had been to visit my parents. Mind you that was a good few years ago, they might be more strict now. I would say that you should be ok.

    Thanks DJ Spider :)

    If you have to miss your signing day and are on hols you can fill out a holiday form at the exchange. You will have to sign when you come back.
