@MrAivariokas Thanks for your comment. The benefits system in the UK will shortly be undergoing significant transformation. We have therefore decided not to include references to specific benefits as they may be changing in the next few months.

Our 'Jobseeker's Allowance' article has much more precise information - please click the link in the description. Hope this helps.
