Jobseekers allowance...can i claim if i took 9000 from student loans when im was doin degree?

yes if you have it stashed in the bank

If the £9000 is debt then that will not effect your claim. If you still have it then you may qualify for a reduced rate of JSA. As for your part time studies, you can study up to 16 hours per week and still claim JSA. So 4 hours a week will be no problem. Check out http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk for loads of info on JSA

I think it's over 25 hours per week to be classed as full time student (actually I think it's more like 30 hrs but just to cover myself). Part time studies, so long as you're not getting loans for studying part time, still leave you able to claim full jsa. Not sure how much you can in the bank before it affects your claim. it's a good few grand if memory serves. Although as it's a student loan - you can always pay back any amount that puts you over the threshold. You'll have to do it eventually anyway

Yeah. It is a measure of how much you need to live on (whine!) agianst how much you have in savings. Debts do not count.

Be careful when declaring your course to them! I thought I was doing the right thing when I told them I was doing one and they tried to stop my money. It was 2 days a week, 9-4 so I could still have taken on a full-time job, but I had a lot of hassle from them before they relented and gave me what I was due!
