reclaiming benefits

I recently stopped claiming JSA as I finally got a job after being on benefits for around two months. I was over the moon but the job didn't work out and I had to leave after a couple of weeks. During this time, I moved into a flat. Now I have no job and I'm going to be struggling to pay the rent at the end of this month. I should start claiming JSA again but I'm not sure how DWP will react now I'll also have to claim housing benefit as well. I am looking for more work and have already applied for lots of jobs but I don't seem to be getting anywhere. Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

You should make a Rapid Reclaim to JSA, however depending on your circumstances for leaving your employment you may be disallowed JSA for 26 weeks.
You should also make a claim to Housing Benefit / Council tax asap.0
