    Hi,

    I will be graduating this year and am wondering if I will be able to claim social welfare straight after i finish my exams in 3 weeks or if I need to wait until I graduate in October.

    There is just no jobs out there.

    Yes you can.You need a letter from college stating you're finished college.If you have been working long enough to build up stamps, you are entitled to jobseekers benefit which is not means-tested,on the other hand, if you haven't been working, you apply for job-seekers allowance and you are means-tested .Eg if you live with your parents and you are under 24 you're parents income is taken into account. If you live with a partner and they are working his\hers income is taken into account.If you live on your own you would probably get the full amount and perhaps rent allowance.

    Thanks for the quick reply. That clears things up for me. It was impossible to find information on this specific case.
