help on benefits

hi need a little advise for my daughter
she has just moved in with her boyfriend
she is full time college student
he is claiming jsa as he islooking for work after completing 3 yrs at college
will her boyfriend have to put her on his jsa claim or can she claim anything to help with living costs. he has applied for housing benefit and awaiting the outcome
i am very worried as to how they will manage and would be gratefull of any advice, i have never claimed anything so am not aware of what benefits they will be entitled to
they also need help with getting furniture etc for their home just basics
