I was made redundant last April, and signed on for a while. I asked the people at the Jobcentre if there would be a problem with me betting on horses whilst unemployed, and, if so, whether I'd have to declare it.
They said there wouldn't be a problem and that I wouldn't have to declare it (and I got them to make a note of that enquiry on the system, to prtect my back!). Anyway, within a few weeks, I signed off, as my gambling meant that my level of savings was such that I was no longer eligible to sign on (although to cut a long story short, if things don't pick up, I might be signing on again soon!
).
