    It would depend very much on your income, have a look at www.entitledto.com to see if theres anything in the way of Working Tax Credits or Local Housing Allowance.

    Have you applied for any benefits other than Jobseekers Allowance? Which type of JSA - contributions or income assessed? Have you been told why this has stopped?

    Complete this and post up on the Debt-free Wannabe board for advice on how to reduce your outgoings:
