    Council tax benefit is a means tested benefit so is dependant on how much your husband earns. You could check by looking on www.entitledto.com and putting in the figures, it will tell you what you may be able to calim.

    If you have been working you could possibly claim contributions based JSA, again something to check on the above site.
