Holidays while on Jobseekers benefit

    I would like to go for holidays for 3 weeks. I know Im allowed to take just 2 weeks BUT If I miss just 2 Wednesday payments and wouldnt have to prove dates by showing the tickets I could go for 3 weeks actually. Because If I leave on Thursday after the payment and come back on Thursday in 3 weeks I miss just 2 payments (holidays). I just need to know if I have to show them the tickets?? What if I go away by car?
    Lets say I have to prove the dates and I will go for 3 weeks regardless and miss one payment, can they stop my benefit??
    Thank you for the answers.

    Nice to know that someone on Jobseekers benefit can afford a 3 week holiday, while most people, like myself are working full time and as much more as I can and am still finding it hard to even go have a proper night out!

    It is not sunny holidays or whatever you are imagining. Im going to visit my parents to different country and I had this planned ages ago. Unfortunatelly I have got laid off. Dont worry Im not this type of person who would suck on social system. I have always worked and Im activelly looking for job. If I find job tommorow when will they let me take my holidays and for how long? Thats why I take them now...Anyway I dont know why I even explain myself. I just wanted someone to answer my question.

    You are trying to abuse the system by taking 3 weeks instead of two which is wrong :mad:

    It's social welfare fraud to do as you suggest.
