i`m gonna go up the job centre on weds to see what i`ve gotta do and what benfits i will eligible for
I've had to claim the dole twice in the last 7 months so i'm "experienced" in it

All the job centre will do is give you a little booklet and tell you to ring this number on it - 0800 0 55 66 88
The phone callThe line is open 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday. Ring this number ASAP.
Your claim won't start till you ring them so i can't stress how quickly you need to ring it, so try tomorrow even though its a Bank Holiday.
If you're calling them from a mobile they will offer to ring you back as it takes ages, as does waiting for them to answer the phone.
They will ask you if you wish to claim housing benefit. Say yes and eventually your council will contact you. Mine took 4 months.
They will make an appointment for you to go to the job centre. It may take a few days

Oh and remember, you have no savings and you're not sure how much redundancy you'll get or when you'll get it
The job centre You will then talk over your claim details with an advisor and they will tell you how much you are entitled to...don't laugh cos they don't find it funny.
They will also tell you what they expect you to do in order to qualify for your money. This will be checking the local rag, registering with agencies, checking their website etc.
