Going abroad during JSA wait period?

    Posting this for a non internet literate relative of mine:

    She went to the social welfare office for the second time yesterday for a means test (6 months of bank statements etc) to get JSA and was told everything was in order and to expect a letter in approx 8 weeks with details of how to sign on. Is she able to go abroad during this 8 week period since she isnt actually signing on?

    Based on reading here I've told her everyone is eligible for the 2 week "holiday" period while actually signing on, there doesnt seem to be anything on this forum about going away while in the wait/processing time period though so I wasnt sure how to advise her on this?

    Figured I'd give this one bump in case somebody knew anything or had been in a similar situation, anyone?

    She should inform SW about two weeks in advance of her holiday abroad. Her JA, if granted, will be backdated so this waiting period is paid. Also likely a SW Inspector will call on her at home and certainly not good to be found to abroad without having given prior notice.
