How do you claim New Style JSA?

[ch 4: page 45]

You normally claim for New Style JSA online and, after you have applied, the jobcentre will contact you to arrange an interview. However, face-to-face appointments have been suspended until at least 19 June 2020 because of the coronavirus outbreak. You will need to bring identity documents and your P45 if you have one, and you will also be asked to sign an agreement to look for work – a Claimant Commitment.
