    Well with spelling like that there appears to be little hope. :p

    You could sign on but if its Unemployment Assistance you want its means tested (so if you live at home and your folks work forget about it) or Unemployment Benefit. You'll need some contributions to add to Student Credits you've acquired by being in college to get the full rate, otherwise it'll be half rate.

    Best bet is to get a job which can be easier said than done I know.

    You will not quailfy for Jobseekers Allowance if you are returning to college in Sep.
    from welfare website:
    The legislation also provides that a person shall be disqualified from receipt of Jobseeker's Allowance while attending a course of study (including school/college holiday periods), except in such circumstances as may be prescribed.
    You will only quailfy for Jobseekers Benefit if you have the credits.
