    Have to sign on tomorrow morning, luckily work is giving me time off (last day tomorrow) but off on a weeks break (nothing fancy, UK)...Was out of work for 3-4 mths 18mths ago, pretty confident wont be long out of it, but prepared for the worst...What are times for queuing like??I intend to get there early..

    Its ok to go in tomorrow and claim from Monday isn't it, otherwise I would lose a week,

    All i have is passport, no bills in my name for address,wont have p45 till next week, whats best way of rectifying this, apologies if these are obvious questions...

    Advice appreciated...

    You can't sign on tomorrow. You are not unemployed yet. Your P45 will say tomorrow so your first day of unemployment is Monday.

    You can only sign on, on your first day of unemployment.

    Well didnt bother going in today, took the advice, which is appreciated..

    Just wondering what best course of action to take is as tried phoning the office, just rings , should I fax them or just hope they backdate the week....

    You go in the first day you are available. Explain to them that you finished up on whatever date, and what you were doing since that you weren't able to attend the office. You can request for the claim to be backdated to the first day of unemployment. The deciding officer will decide if this is allowed if they are satisfied that you satisfied all the conditions for the payment for that period (i.e. looking for & available for work etc.).

    If you're going away on holiday you won't be eligible to claim anyway so you need to claim from the first day you are available for work, which will be the day after you come back from holiday.

    dont you have to wait 3 days after being let go before you can sign on?

    *disclaimer - this may be total rubbish, i cant remember why I think this

    You can sign on from the first day you are unemployed but you don't get paid in respect of the first three days of your claim be it JB or JA.
