Can I get any benefits as I'm not studying at the moment?

Question

I've completed my college course in June and I haven't been getting any money at all! I use to get EMA when I was studying. I'm going back to studying in October to do a 4 day working and 1 day studying. What money should I been getting until I go back to college? I have been applying for jobs but no positive feedback

Answer 1

y do you need to claim benefits when you live at home and have most things provided for you.. get a JOB!! and do what all the other uni and college students do and earn your money, dont sponge off us tax payers!!!

Answer 2

NO

Answer 3

You're not entitled to any money.  You're not a full time student and you're living with your mother.

Answer 4

You shouldn't be getting any money, you're meant to get a job!  You get money whilst studying so that in theory you don't HAVE to get a job which might affect your studies.  Whilst your not studying/ off for summer you can quite easily work.   I  go to uni and get a student loan but the payments stop over the summer so I also have to have two jobs.

Answer 5

I think income support, but not sure. Go to your social security office and find out. Tell them your situation, i take it your training job won't be paid so you should be entitled to something even if your living with a parent.

Answer 6

Get a job, and earn money, just like everyone else, you could have easily earnt a few grand from working between june and oct.

Answer 7

you should be entitled to job seekers allowance. go to your job centre and ask for an application form. the worst they can do is say no.
