Hmmm...I simply refused to sign on after that. My family had - in a well-meaning way - loaned me some money to tide me over for a bit, but that put me over the means test; and, never having earned anything, I had no contributions-basis from which I could claim. Signing on would've meant missing Start the Week every fortnight for no good reason.
Luckily, I got a couple of stop-gap short-term things - paid-by-the-hour teaching and so on reasonably soon, and so wasn't too enormously badly hit. But, really. The lack of imagination...
