Answer 1

Well, he should be eligible for jobseekers allowance, and if he's paying rent, contribution towards that. He should be concentrating all his efforts in to getting a new job - two weeks waiting around for a bit of free cash isn't a wise thing to do.

Answer 2

He has to sign on straight away then the benefit from unemployment will kick in.

Answer 3

My daughter used to work in a Job Centre, and from listening to her,  I think that is the place to go.  They know all the benefits you are entitled to, and it is their job to tell you.

Good luck!!
