Housing Benefit

Posts: 1 Newbie
can anyone help me...? I am alone with my three children. My ex-partner still lives in our family home and I am renting. I work part-time and claim tax credits as well as getting maintenance payements for the kids. After the recent changes I have applied for housing benefit - but am being told that because I have an interest in the property my ex is in - I am not entitled....is this true...or fair. I have not access to the house - locks have been changed!

If your family home is up for sale or is subject to divorce proceedings it can be disregarded. Even if it is not, if your share is worth less than £16k (after outstanding mortgage were paid and 10% deducted for selling costs), you could still be eligible for hb.0
