Jobseeker's Allowance 

Also known as JSA, this is the standard state handout to the unemployed in the UK.
Jobseeker's Allowance is paid by Jobcentre Plus to Jobseekers, who are required to actively seek work.
In order to receive Jobseeker's Allowance you must go to a branch of Jobcentre Plus so that a member of staff (a Dictator) can find out what sort or work you will have to look for - which is usually the most lowest paid, temporary and agency work. This will be called your Jobseekers Agreement.
If the dictator decides you are doing enough to find work, you will get paid a paltry sum that is not enough to live on.
In order to continue receiving Jobseekers Allowance, you must visit the Jobcentre Plus every 2 weeks - known as "Signing On" to show a dictator evidence of what you have done to find the work that is put down on your Jobseeker's Agreement.
This is very demeaning and the Dictator will make you feel very small and guilty that you are still a jobseeker.
If the dictator thinks you have applied for enough menial jobs but havent got one, you will be eligible for another payment of Jobseeker's Allowance.
You will then have to go back in another 2 weeks to do this again for your next payment of Jobseeker's Allowance.
If the Dictator decides you are not applying for enough jobs, he or she will stop your claim and you will no longer be eligible for any Jobseeker's Allowance.
I'm going up the pub tonight, got me Jobseeker's Allowance paid today!

crime allowance

When a corrupt authoritative high ranking or low ranking official of any governmental, state, or private institution or organization grants certain people, for whatever reason, the permission to commit crimes and get away with them.
An example of a crime allowance refers to how some authorities may turn their heads on the crimes committed by a rich person if that particular authority figure knows there may be a monetary incentive from which he/she may benefit from. Another example would be the authorities providing gangs or the enemies of a person they want to assasinate, military weaponry that would otherwise be illegal for the assailants to have in their possession under state and federsl law, however, they are allowed to use these weapons to commit murder but are not prosecuted for their crimes because of the connections they have with corrupt members of a police force or military branch.

Youth Allowance 

A form of payment received through Centrelink for youths who are either studying, or too busy youtubing news bloopers to get a job. Youths are often encouraged, by their parents, to fill in the youth allowance form. This is because their parents are too busy at the pokies spending their kids' university savings on VBs and slot machines. The centrelink child often appears to wear all it can afford. This includes fake BAPE and singlets from Cotton On. However, if the child is one of the smarter kids, that child would save his/her money diligently and wait for interest to fatten their bank accounts. Though usually, the child's parents had created the bank accounts, therefore, the parents know the PINs and will continue to take money from their children.
Ben can spend his days watching news bloopers because he is on youth allowance, therefore, he is awesome.

Diane has to work hard because she does not directly receive her youth allowance, therefore, she is not as awesome as Ben.
