I have an appointment to go and claim JA on tuesday, but am getting worried now that I won't be given anything when they've done the means test.

My mother is a secondary school teacher, I don't know what she earns but none of it comes to my pocket! Rent and food are paid for since I live at home, but thats it.
My father is separated from her and does not contribute anything to the household.
