    so if you dont need the £60 a week then why sign on?

    You do not need to sign on to claim LHA.

    Surely someone who earns £35K would have a better use of grammar, and not still be living with their parents? :confused:

    Also the spelling is not too hot! ( Dives for cover).

    I'm realy sorry you see thinks this way :confused:

    thats not the case with me, i'm simply trying to see if i can get some support with learning.

    did,nt you get support along the way??? i never took any and if i'm entitled to something so why not?

    your talking about support yet say that you dont need the JSA £60 but yet your are trying to find out how to get the most rent.
    And you are also saying that you want to get everything back that you have paid in. Well that is not how it works. What you have paid into society will fund you when you are a pensioner and eligable for the winter fuel grant and various other amounts of money.

    If you want to study , go study, if you want to work find a job. Why try and work out what borough pays the most LHA? Can you afford to pay for a flat once you are no longer able to get LHA? What about the council tax when you are no longer a student? And the bills?
    Can you manage all that?
