Can Daughter Draw benefits

Just a quicky. My daughter got made redundant yesterday. She's been working part time in a well known ladies fashion shop that went bang on Monday. They've said if they can't get her a job elsewhere (as if) they'll give her a weeks pay, which is fair enough. She's going to Uni in September can she claim any benefits if she doesn't find another job.

    She can claim JSA (means tested).

    I agree with bunny999 - so long as your daughter is actively seeking employment she can recieve JSA (IB) until she goes to university.
