Signing on, but not collecting payments

    A bit of an odd question here, but to satisfy by curiosity here it is.

    If somebody signs on at the SW office on their designated date, but then fails to collect the next 4 weekly payments at the post office, would the system flag them as being signed off? Or would they remain on the system indefinitely so long as they still made the sign-on day every four weeks?

    You can't do that anymore as to stop people from getting payments when they are out of the country

    You are signed off the dole if you miss (I think) two payments in a row. Even if you miss one payment (which is pretty hard to do, considering there is a window of 3 days) you'd still have to go into the SW office and plead your case.

    If you miss collecting 3 payments, your claim will auto suspend.

    If you miss one payment, it will take approx 2 weeks for the payment to return to SW, and it will be flagged that you missed a payment.

    If you were planning to be away for 4 weeks, you can apply ahead of time and fill out a form at the SW for 2 weeks holiday. You will then be paid for those two weeks after your return. If you were going to be away for a further 2 weeks immediately following the holiday and inform (put it in writing) the SW of that when filling the holiday form, they would still only pay you for the 2 weeks holiday and no payment for additional weeks but as you had informed them, your claim would not be cancelled.

    but then wouldnt you be making a fraudelent claim, as you were not avaialble for and genuinely seeking work for the days you were away?
