advised I can get JSA if I have less than £16000 savings - thought it was a lot lower than that. Told I can get £67.50 per week, but that doesn't even cover my bills. Water rates, gas, electric, house ins, telephone etc. Not taking into account giving up things, such as tv, internet, car, phone, support to daughter in full time education
Do they really expect me to survive on the same sort of money as a teenager living at home?

Oh dear - What a shame.

Most of us live on that with £00,000 savings!
