Sale of our family home

[mumof2babiesx]

Hello all,

I split from my partner who I share two children with 3 & 5 and I currently work part time, he pays CM every month and i also claim benefits. We share a house in joint name and it renews in January but neither of us can afford the rates but I don't want to sell due to my eldest being in school close by. If I do sell with the profit from the house sale in my bank account will I still be eligible for housing?

You would be eligible to go on a housing list, you could in theory be a millionaire but lists are long and the points system and bidding means it could take years depending on your circumstances. The amount of money in your accounts will directly affect benefit levels. Look at the GOV uk website for exact guidance on the amounts and how it affects your claim.
