    Your living at home so your probably going to be means tested, if your dad can afford to support your they'll take that into consideration, they want to see the bank statements to make sure you don't have the money to support yourself.

    Remember a mate of mine was getting €11 euro a week because he was living at home and his parents were ok financially.

    You might be better off take any job that's going, your going to get very little from the social welfare.

    Well you are living at home with a parent. Are you trying to get around the system and say your not living at home now. I know you have been employed for the last 2 years but unfortunately its 2009 contributions that are taken into account for jobseekers benefit for 2011.
