You just tell them in advance of when you are going and that you will miss your signing day.
People take holidays while on the dole - it's nothing new.

If you are getting Jobseeker's Allowance or Jobseeker's Benefit you can go on holiday for a maximum of 2 weeks and get the 2 weeks payment on your return.

You must notify your social welfare local office before taking your holiday...''

Notify them all the same. You'll only get paid for 2 weeks of that month upon your return.

Take the last two weeks of this year and the first two weeks of next year? That's only two weeks for each year.

^^ only with JSB.

If you're going for 4 weeks you will not get paid for the 2 extra weeks.
