Heyya ppl :) Its Feyi here. Well sadly after working for the amazing NHS for 3 years, I was made redundant in June . So I've had to go onto JSA Income based allowance. For the first few weeks I was on fortnighly sign on, but now it's weekly. The issue I have is long before i signed on JSA I booked a hotel for myself and my partner to Edinburgh on the 4th August (Sunday) and to stay at a hotel up there for 8 days. Now the issue I have is that this will clash with one of my sign on dates, so for 1 week I won't be able to sign on (the 6th august) but i return on monday 12th. So the following week for the 13th august i can sign on..The issue I have is that I of course did my research to my entitlement during this period and was told your allowed upto 2 weeks. When I went into my jobcentre they said recent changes means you can't take a holiday even if it is UK based like mine..with my date only a few weeks ago I thought it was best to cancel..But now the hotel says i will not get my room back :( so I lose the costs of it..what can I do? and how? Anyone wo can help be appreciated
