    Hi guys just a quick question.

    I am moving to London on the 27th to look for work and called into the SW office today to get the form for transfer of benefit. On the form it asks for my U.K address. I won't have this until i physically move over and find a place.
    Does this mean that i cannot apply for a transfer?

    All help appreciated.

    A person in receipt of Irish JB for at least 4 weeks may transfer the JB claim to a country covered by EC Regulations (No. 883/2004) for up to 3 months (78 Days).

    Obviously this only applies to Jobseekers BENEFIT and not jobseekers assistance.

    A person in receipt of Irish JB may transfer the JB claim to one of the European countries for up to 13 weeks (78 days). The form U2 is completed by Client Eligibility Section (CES) with details of rates of payment etc and sent to the person transferring their payment at their new address. The person takes this form to the social services office of the country to which they are travelling.

    In cases where a person is travelling to Britain or Northern Ireland in search of work and transferring their jobseeker’s benefit there, the Local Office will complete the U2 form and hand it to the customer.
