As you are under 25 your weekly allowance of just JSA is £56.25
Your HB and CT are separate - have you claimed for these? Judging from your response of "didn't directly apply" I am presuming maybe not?
You need to apply - is your house social or private rented? http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/diol1/doitonline/dg_4017614“How people treat you becomes their karma; how you react becomes yours.”0 -
I haven't claimed for those, no. I'll go do so tomorrow. I'll be going back to uni in sept though so it's only for a few months. Will I have to pay council tax? Will it only be for the 3 months then?0
