Hi I am 23 and currently living with my sister. I applied for JSA three weeks ago but today I got a letter back asking for a means test to be filled out.
I was told that my sisters means dont matter so I didnt fill out the means test sheet.
I understand if you are under 25 and live with your parents their means are taken into account but not with somebody else. Is this the case? Thanks
 
You are correct in saying that your sister's means/income are not relevant to your claim.

You should provide any information regarding your own means (savings, etc) as part of your claim.
 
In order for your jobseekers allowance claim to be processed you still need to fill out the means application form and return it.
