Can anyone please help? I have being claiming jobseekers for nearly a year now and I am also claiming for my partner as a dependant adult. But now I am very interested in trying to a full-time undergraduate course in DBS. I am also in receipt of rent allowance.

You'll find everything you need to know here:
