    Hi there i'm sure this has been done before many times but I'm currently in my last weeks of college. Ive applied for a few masters but dont know if ill get them and also Ive had no luck finding a summer job to fund it. I'm also living at home with my parents.

    With this in mind, would be it worth my while applying for jobseekers allowance? Also, I heard that i need some letter from the college as well.

    Thanks

    Yes you should claim if you have no income.You will need a letter from you college stating the date your course finished.

    Also If you are 24 years of age or under and you are living with a parent or a step-parent in the family home, some of your parents' income will also be taken into account in the assessment for Jobseeker's Allowance. The Department call this an assessment of the 'benefit and privilege' you get from living with your parents
