Queston to Joan .. thanks

 i lived/worked in spain for 16 years .. (same company - and have my work history) I was made redundant .. went to the paro office did the baja and applied for paro. ( or so i thought) .. came out with a E10

i went to the unemployment office in UK and applied from there to have the paro imported .. Aparently it was not with in the 15 days ... how important is that and any way round it ?

the unemployement office (who said i was their first spanish import) and Newcastle office  lost my paperwork, filled out wrong forms, send to the wrong place, eventualy it was recieved in the office in spain .. but have now been told i am not eligable as i only had the E10 - athough i applied in spain. - this was 6 months ago. -  have been told i have lost the last 6 months .. due to wrong advice and wrong paperwork in spain unemployment office and not applying witin 15 days.  The best i can hope for is UK backdated jobseekers allowance. Do u think this is correct or any way of getting this 6 months Spanish Paro?

I have been told if i go on a 3 month spanish contract (my old company will do this) but paid for the company and my Social payments .. i can then re-apply ... but there seems to be a doubt about how long i can apply for .. 6 months or 2 years. any idea ?

Would this work with a UK job ... if so how long? -  and then can i re-apply to Spain for import
