    Just wondering what is the difference between the two when it concerns the social welfare i.e. Jobseekers Allowance/Benefit.

    If you're fired you can sign on fairly quick, almost straight away I think! But what is the story if you happened to be let go from a job, what is the wait time then?

    Other way around...

    If your fired or sacked you might have to wait 9 weeks before they'll even start your claim...its a disqualification period i believe

    Oh right, cheers for the reply! makes sense making you wait if you leave or get fired, and giving you something for getting let go through no fault of your own!

    "Let go" may be a nice way of saying "fired".

    The real question is, why were you let go (or fired?)

    There is an exclusion period of up to 9-weeks if you voluntarily leave your job. The exclusion can also apply if you lose your job with the purpose of claiming jobseekers benefit.. easily done, stop showing up for work and they'll "let you go" pretty quick.
