Need Jobseeker's Allowance - Help please? URGENT!

Studying A-Levels counts as full time education. Only way around it is if you could sit exams as an external candidate and not be taught by the college. I don't see why (assuming you've done A-Levels/Btecs) just sitting English A Level and self studying wouldn't work?

I don't recommend lying about something like this. Imagine you were banned from claiming benefits in the future, when you might really need it.

Thanks for your reply! But people do change their decisions! Imagine were I was genuinely wanting to look for work but then decide to attend a college instead.

Actually, in my position, it makes quite a bit of sense to work, go back to studying, then university. Well, financially it is less stressful. Of course, this would mean that extra years are wasted but it seems like a perfectly viable route to take.

That is fine but from the moment you start full time education I imagine your money will stop being sent to you as you no longer meet the conditions.

Is there no way you can borrow money from family/friends to hold you over until you get the A Level?

All the college is looking for is just a simple letter that says I'm going to receive Jobseeker's Allowance. With that evidence, I will be able to study for free. This is hilarious because I'm not after the money directly from the JSA but rather the letter itself!

My family.... there's no chance considering that they are very disappointed that I left university.....

Oh I see, I thought you were trying to get money to pay for the A Level!

That makes sense. I'd advise you just research it a bit online first before you do anything though.
