    Sorry to hear that.

    Job seekers allowance is means tested. They take into account your parents income and all those in your household. Silly I know. I would suggest appealing the decision by writing to them.

    In the mean time, I would go to to your local community welfare officer and ask them for an interim payment while you are waiting on your appeal. Probably won't be much but at least you'll have something to keep you ticking over.

    Hope this helps and best of luck in your job hunting!
