Hi guys wonder if you can help me

I applied for job seekers allowance in early december, so about a month ago. I have yet to receive anything from them saying if or when i am entitled to an allowance.

As there is no reason for me not to receive it lets say for the sake of this question that I am entitled to it. My question is:

If I find employment before I get the letter (saying when i can collect my back pay allowance) will I be entitled to the backpay which has amassed in the time between applying and finding a job?

thanks
