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.
