What am i Entitled to?
Housing benefit helps those on a low income to pay some or all of their rent.
Am I eligible?
You can apply for housing benefit if:
you pay rent
you’re on a low income or claiming benefits
your savings are below a certain level - usually £16,000
You can apply if you’re employed or unemployed, but if you live with a partner, only one of you can get Housing Benefit.
If you’re single and under 35, you can only get Housing Benefit for bed-sit accommodation or a single room in shared accommodation.
