Special guardian and jobseekers allowance

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

Hi
I'd like to know if I can claim job seekers allowance with the exception of not having to sign on?
I have been appointed by the courts to be my nieces special guardian since March and I have to participate in many courses throughout this year as it was stated in my support package.
As I'm not currently available for work do you think I'm going to be exempt from signing on? I will be available for full time work by early next year.

Yours faithfully,

Kerry
