Twin Sons [24 years old] living at home with parents cannot qualify for J.SA. due to means test [both parents working], what are their options? can they sign on, do FA.S. courses etc any help appreciated.
 
Can they move out and get some where else to live? They can apply in their own right then as far as I know
 
Not if they move out to avoid a means test. If the Dept believe that that is the case, they can be assessed as if they were living at home.

They will no longer be means tested on parental income while living at home when they reach 25.

The inspector would need proof before making such a move.

I didn't mean to be, but a spell in somewhere like London at 24 would be a great education in itself and maybe a stepping stone to something better than being on the dole.
 
If they move out they may get JSA but they will have to pay rent with no rent supplement. Why not go to social welfare and ask if they can sign on for credits?
