The way to close your claim is to put your request in writing I'm afraid, alternatively if your claim has been susoended and you haven't made contact with 1 calender the month the claim will automatically close.

You won't be arrested at the airport.

It does depend on the reason for your claim to IS but most claims can remain open for a short while (usually a short term holiday for example a two week jaunt to the sun) but as part of the qualifying condition for claiming means tested benefits is that you are resident in the UK they may need to consider if you are habitually resident in the UK for benefit purposes and also if you have been in receipt of IS which is only meant to cover your living expenses, bills etc how were you able to afford to leave the country on numerous occasions iygwim?

Also leaving the country is a change of circumstances so you are legally required to notify the dapratment.

Consider when someone is claiming JSA they have to notify the JCP office when they leave the area even for an over night stay!
