Am i entitled to benefits?

[emsley]

I am 21 years old and in full time education. I live wiht my parents. I am unsure as too whether i am entitled to any government benefits or free prescriptions and such. I do not have any income or money, i live solely off of my parents. Any help or advice about what i can cliam would be greatly appreciated!

Your local Citizens' Advice Bureau will be able to advise you. Some, but not all, students are eligible for Income Support. The rules are complex but the easiest way to find out if you qualify is to submit an application.

If you can get Income Support then you will automatically be entitled to free prescriptions. Otherwise you should get hold of form HC1 from your local post office to see if you qualify.

You are generally only entitled to free prescriptions if you are under 19 and in full time education

to be honest i dont think you would be entitled to anything at all, after all, you could work if you wanted to couldn't you?
