If your work is reduced from 5 day week to 3 day you may be entitled to JB for 3 days. You should apply at your local SW office immediately.Bring with you Passport (for ID) and utility bill (for proof of address) and PPS no. There may be several weeks delay before any payment is actually received but payment will eventually be made from the date of application -less the first 3 days
I have been put on a three day week myself about 8 wweks ago. Social came into work wih te forms. As said you need your passport, a utility bill dated recently for proof of address.
You will miss out on the first three days of the claim. The amount paid will depend if you are married and have children.
I had to wait for 3 three weeks before I got my first cheque, which is posted out to you.
