Jobseekers Allowance letters

    Hi, I received 2 letters in the post today after I have registered for the Jobseeker's Allowance. I am a bit confused if I will be getting a payment or not.

    The first letter has "Means from benefit of Board & Lodgings in your parents home" on the top of it and states that My weekly means are 0.

    The 2nd letter states my Total Weekly Means are nil.

    I was wondering will I be getting another letter in the next week or something or that I won't receive a payment? There is no other form that states when to pick up a payment or anything. I've read countless past posts on the topic and people are saying that if your means are zero, you will get a payment, but none have answered the question. Thank you.

    0 and nil is the same thing.

    This is good news for you.

    As above nil or 0 means = full payment for your age group.
