Housing Benefit

[YummuMummy1989]

If i work full time and am i single mother and earn 15k per annum would i be able to apply for housing benefit and how much help could they offer? I have called and asked the Council however they are not very helpful and just keep telling me they cant tell me until i apply. The problem is i am looking to move out and rent on my own and need to budget!

Please help!

I was earning 14k and my rent is £950 per month, I think in the end I had to pay around £500-£600 per month and they paid the rest, but i was getting some tax credits too.

But no they will never tell you how much help you will get and are very unhelpful

Thanks for your reply that has re assured me about what to do i also get tax credits to help with childcare while i work.

Thanks again :)
