    Indeed you might be entitle to something after a certain period... but it won't be much (something like £100-£200/month) if any (it might be only for under 25 or people who paid National Insurance contribution in the past).
    The best thing is to go and ask for information at a Job Center.

    The best thing is to go to your local Job Center (open 9am-5pm usually) and explain your situation. They have different forms to give you that you will have to fill before to come back to their office.
    You can find your nearest Job Center with the link: http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/los.asp ... OurOffices
