Because you are living at home (presumably with your parents), any application for job seeker's allowance would be based on their income. If one or both is working, it is unlikely you would receive anything. You would not be entitled to supplementary welfare allowance as this is for people who are waiting for their JSA or JSB etc application and is for people who are genuinely struggling and have no money to keep them (or their family) going until they receive their social welfare payment.

I think if you were previously working more hours and your hours/days were cut, you can apply for JSA for the hours/days you are missing out on, but I am not sure how you go about that or if you would be entitled to it seeing as you are living at home. Perhaps someone else more knowledgeable may be able to answer.
