    Hi All,
    Just wanted to ask a quick question.

    I am a 3rd year student finishing my BA course this year (May 2013) who recieves the maintenance grant. I am applying for the BA HONS of the course which is starting Sep 2013. As it is a level 8 now (with new course code) and I will be dealing with a new grant (hopefully) will I be able to sign on for the dole this summer?

    Regards,
    njC

    Nope you have to be at least 3 months finished in full time education before you can claim jobseekers

    Are you sure? I thought that was only in relation to school? When I finished a masters I signed on immediately.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    The 3 months is for school. You will need to be able to get some sort of letter to say you've finished the course & if you can get the letter you should be able to sign on for the Summer.
