Believe it or not it's paid directly into your bank account.
Or at least it would have been in my case were it not for the fact that despite having paid in all my life and only actually being out of work for 8 weeks in total, I was in fact not eligeable.
You see rather than drink, smoke and generally pee my life away I had savings and a house and I was penalised for that. Without wanting to start another political debate we really do reward the lowest common denominators in this country and for christ sake don't get ill if you've done either of the things I've just mentioned!
