Hi Guys,
My circumstances have changed and I am moving back in with my parents. I am 29 years old! Does anyone know if I will get jobseeker's allowance if I am not paying rent? Many thanks
 
You can continue to claim Jobseeker's Allowance from your family address. As you are over 25, you will not be means-tested on parental income.
 
Thanks Gipimann I had thought because I wasn't paying rent my allowance would be docked! Thanks again
 
If you are in receipt of Rent Supplement, that will cease when you move home, but your Jobseeker's Allowance won't change.
