Unemployment Benefit

[Mal1]

I've been getting unemployment benefit for the last 3 months, after being made redundant. I'm just wondering how long can you claim it, and do they ever ask any questions, or bring you in for interviews?
Thanks

Yes - it used to be after a few (c. 6+) months that they did this but I think it's more regular now. One of the qualifying criteria for UB/UA is that you are available for and genuinely seeking employment. They may ask for evidence that this is the case.
