LDYP0212       10.00am – 4.30pm       21 November 2012

This course will help social services staff, housing workers, education workers, advice workers and anyone advising young people get to grips with complex rules relating to young people.

The course looks at how the benefits system applies to young people (aged under 25), and particularly those aged 16 – 17. It will focus on:

• income support and ESA;
• jobseeker's allowance (including severe hardship payments); and housing benefit;

It will also look at the benefit entitlement of those in particular situations e.g. disabled young people, looked-after children and care-leavers, people on training courses and in education, pregnancy and lone parents, part-time students, and estranged young people living away from their parents.
