 I was working in Spain for 11 months until April 2013. I went to the Oficina de empleo to find out about Paro. I was told I needed a  U1 certificate from HMRC to confirm UK contributions as I hadn't been working in Spain for 12 months. I am still waiting for this. I have contacted HMRC who said it will be 2-3 more weeks. I have managed to find work starting this month, but I have had to borrow money over the last few months, believing that I would get the Paro at some point. I cannot find any information on what will happen when I eventually receive this certificate, will I still be able to claim Paro for the 3 months that I have been unemployed, or will it be rejected on the grounds that I am now working? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
