Me and my partner will be off benefits come December, About time I say. You can do it online now to apply for JSA, then they send you a appointment to go in the office to finish your claim. If you have everything needed it takes about 2 weeks, which is then back dated.
Housing benefit is simple again if you have all the details. Just pop in to the council go to main best and pick up the application. Soon as you have finished it return it to the office. Them claims take up to 4 weeks. So having the money to cover your next rent is a must, what we had to do as the back dated payment come 5 days after the rent date. =\
