Housing/council tax benefit, advice needed

[rayofsunshine]

Im about to hand in my notice at work, for various reasons, mainly stress, i have been to docs and he says im suffering with stress, and i know its down to work, i have to hang around for a bus for an hour and half after i finish work and walk into a quite villiage etc and im quite a nervous person.

Before i started working we were claiming housing and council tax benefit, but obviously had to let them know i was working so its been reduced.

Will i still be able to claim even though its been my choice not to continue to work. I know if i had wanted to claim unemployement benefit i wouldnt be able to.

thanks in advance for any help.

You can claim housing/counciltax benefit if you have given up work

ok, thanks for ur help, on my dad said can i still put in a claim even if im not working, we have got a claim going, but only get a couple of quid a week, so i can get in touch and tell them ive had to pack in my job and it will be ok.

shouldnt really have to claim again just inform them of your change of cercumstance and they will update it to i expect full benefit HTH
