Unsure how to fill out part of this form (jobseeker's allowance)

    So part 7 of the jobseekeer's benefit form begins "have you been working since you last claimed?".
    I have never claimed before, for one thing (but can't just not tick a box) but as well as that the next few question relate to your last employment - address of your most recent employment, etc.
    But I've been a student up to last week, when I withdrew from University and have never had "official" employment - only babysitting, etc.
    So does anyone know what I ought to do about this? Any other people that have been in this same position?
    Thank you very much,
    emily

    If you have never worked in the state perhaps you need to apply for JSA.

    You will need to supply a letter from your University stating that you have finished.

    Just put n/a on it and state that you have been in education and never worked.You will need a letter from the college stating that you have withdrawn and are no longer registered. Jobseekers Benefit/Allowance has a common application form.
