Correct to an earlier answer by tactful.............
you can only claim IS if your youngest child is under 5Skint but Debt Free at Last :T0 -
I am not sure if the rules have changed or not as most information about benefits is not quite as good as it could be.
I know if you are doing a HE course you cannot claim jobseekers but I have known some doing a FE course be successful *shrugs*
The benefits page on education on the direct gov website only talks about HE - I could find no mention of FE so what I would advise is to go back to the Job Centre and double check that they understand it is a FE course and only 14 hours.
My understanding is that for an adult the 16 hour rule kicks in where a 16-18 is classed as full time with 12 hours and for council tax purposes a full time course is 22 hours (adults only) *shrugs again*
The ones I know that got Jobseekers were all doing Access.
I could be totally wrong and the goalposts have been moved again while I wasn't looking;)
Good luck.Mags - who loves shopping0 -
