if you don't stop claiming it from being under 18 - you just keep getting it until you get a job - so long as you prove you're looking
Universal credit is the current not quite yet universal system, that has all the benefits you can claim as one - housing, job seekers, tax credits etc - but it retains a 'temp' job seekers that is based on personal money and job situation alone as universal credit is household based.
basically the UK system is a mess currently because they decided to change it to make it more frustrating and make more people want to work. (And they trailed it in the north and started 'rolling it out' southwards)
I am not convinced that not finishing sorting it isn't a part of that plan mind
