What is the jobseekers clothing allowance limit?
You have got no chance! Firstly, they will only let you have part of your allowance if you have a confirmed interview in the near future, like less than a week away. Secondly, there are set limits on what you can have- for instance I needed footwear for attending interview and they would allow only £30 for a pair of black court shoes from specified high street retailers, working on a voucher system- so everyone in the shop knows you’re unemployed, too. Your only hope is to book an appointment with your advisor and talk it through with them. Get a list of which retailers they deal with and find out if they stock your size. Edit: what you need then, is how much you can spend on a jacket, or better still, a suit. Presumably you have everything else? The total max limit is £300, but that is for everything.
