not really helpful now though moo is it?
I did my exams by D/L and got unemployment benefit by a touch of truth bending - ie not accepting jobs at all. It gets a bit shaky at your interviews when they probe a bit deeper - I just expected nothing and anything else was a bonus. You do have to be able to sign on though - which was no bother when D/L but not sure about a full time course, they tell you when to come and obviously it looks dodgy if you can't make times other than your lunch break!
