    Get your own address. Rent a room for a few weeks until someone comes out to confirm your address from the dole. Then move home and informthem of a change of address.(once your dole is through) They,re not concerned who you live with once your,e in the system

    Unless of course you're subjected to a random inspection. Or they need to post you anything. Or your mother claims anything on the basis of you living there. Or you apply to another government department with your PPS number

    OP, you can either move out or turn 25, either will make you eligible

    So by moving out, I would get the dole, is that fair to say?

    I finished my college course and have always had a summer and P/T job during the year.

    Assuming you don't have any other disqualifications. You would have to be re-assessed, but if you don't have any other income, savings or assets, then yeah, most likely

    You will be on a reduced rate due to your at, and may not qualify for rent allowance.
    You may have to show a lot of evidence to show you are living independently to prove you are living away and the situation isn't just contrived in order to claim social welfare.
