    Hey all

    I am currently applying for JSA, am living with parents, under 24 so gonna be assessed. I was researching the whole process and came across a bit that I'm not sure i understand. the following;

    If however your only means are from the benefit of your parents' income and those means are calculated as less than the personal rate of Jobseeker's Allowance, the minimum weekly payment you are entitled to is €40.

    does this means that regardless of parents income, one would be entitled to €40 if they are one's only source of financial support? thats the only thing i get from this. am i wrong?

    no it means the minimum you will be receive is 40e IF you parents incomes are below the threshold.

    I was assessed and refused outright due to my parents income a while back
