My daughter received her letter today. She will be getting £51.85 a week which I believe is the full amount. She has an appointment tomorrow which we hope will put her on track for full time work. Many thanks again for all your help. As we were new to this it was great having somewhere to turn to for advice. And as a result of your goodwill I've made a donation towards the upkeep of the site. nipete

Thanks jsa12 and Aviva we're both much the wiser. I'll be back to let you know what the result is.

Many thanks for your reply. My daughter had her interview today and they seemed to be very understanding! She explained why she left her job and the interviewer noted down "accused of doing things in the wrong", which pretty much summed up her circumstances. She then spoke to a second person who explained what was expected of her on job seekers. Only thing is nobody actually mentioned whether she was getting any benefits, given the fact that she left her job. But I'm assuming from the fact that they didn't mention she isn't getting any payments that she will. Hope that makes sense I don't want to push my luck but can you tell me if living at home affects payments? Thanks again for your help it's much appreciated

Hi everyone brand new to the site and hoping for some help. My daughter recently left a part time job, 2 days a week, and I'm wondering if this will affect whether she is entitled to job seekers allowance. She is 21 and has never claimed before and I have no experience of it either. From what I've read in the forums it may well do but I'm not sure if it also applies to part time work or just those leaving full time employment? Cheers, Pete
