    Im 25 and am being means tested for JSA. Im looking for work at the moment so I am living with my parents who are both self employed. Ive savings of approx 13k in a savings account but have an overdraft of approx 2.5k. If I were to forget to mention the savings would it make a difference to what I am entitled to?

    Kingdomkerry I have split your post to its own thread because there is no point dragging up the old thread.

    You have to mention the savings - otherwise it would be classed as fraud.
    13k won't affect your claim anyway - only amounts over 20000 are assessed as means.
