    Hi just looking for some advice regarding working part time and claiming benefits. Sorry if its confusing

    Im a 22 year old living at home and was working 3 days a week for the past 2 yrs this has now been cut down to 2 days, now when i was working the 3 days i didnt claim for the other days i worked because quite frankly i could survive on the wages i was getting but now my circumstances have changed and i really cant survive on the wages from 2 days a week

    Am i entitled to anything since i never claimed when i was working 3 days a week or will that matter when trying to claim now?? And how much roughly am i entitled to?

    Your parents income will be taken into account as well as the "benefit and privelge of living with your parents".

    Look at citizensadvice - jobseeker allowance for more info.
