If your waiting for a course and currently looking for a job then by all means apply for jobseekers but i would be careful - if your situation isn't what you've told them you could get in HUGE trouble. Is there anyway you could get a part time job? Maybe sell some of your stuff or offer to help around the house more if you don't already and then perhaps your 'rents will back off. Either that or move out. My mum and i have a serious problem with each other. It got to a Harry Potter/Voldermort situation with us in the end...one of us had to die. Or move out lol hope you find the right solution.
