Hi all, I am not sure whether my activities over the past 4 years affect what I should be applying to, but in case they do I will list them anyway.
(Until early 2020: student. Second half of 2020-mid-2021: working in England. The following 3 months working in Scotland, the latter half of which alongside full-time studies. I dropped out of these studies at the very end of 2022. 2023 has included a 7-month long holiday abroad.
Savings are less than £5000. I'm in Scotland staying with my mum.
I am clueless as to whether employment history makes a difference to which benefits you should apply to, but I thought I would include it anyway.)
I applied for New Style Jobseekers Allowance. Should I also apply to Universal Credit? Would Universal Credit be a smaller monthly amount than Jobseekers Allowance? (I understand Universal Credit supersedes other kinds of benefits if you apply to it. Could I end up with less money if I am granted the less generous Universal Credit instead of the more generous Jobseekers Allowance?)
