For those lads who have not long started up, and don't qualify for todays hmrc help? Below is what you could to do:
Go on the UC website, to start the claim for UC, and include all rent etc. (i.e council/housing ass. or landlord) then prove who you are with a photo licence and (or) passport with the separate id company link (which crashes all the time) then call UC to speak with a advisor and make their phone appointment call back, (which getting through is a f..king nightmare btw) if you are lucky enough to get through, they will arrange a time of day for someone else to call you back maybe a week later, and go through the claim over the phone with you. You dont have to go into the job centre, as u know it would defeat the object. Good luck
