    Students are unable to claim benefits for any holiday periods during their course.

    Unless they are single parents with at least one child under 16, or one of a two-student-parent family with at least one child in which case one can claim JSA as long as the other isn't working over 16 hours per week.

    Though no-one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending.
