    I would give your council a ring and ask. I recieve council tax benefit but I cant remember what the limits are on income, savings etc.

    Or you could speak with citizens advice bureau as they are normally very clued up.

    Hope this helps

    my brother lost job did'nt claim anything and looked after kids while wife worked for year, she had accident and then made redundant while of sick. he told can't claim anything as not paid stamp ! and cause she had maternity leave then extra 6 months off not paid ( no stamp was paid ---but who knows that ? )she can claim much either ! so make sure your stamp is paid , even if you worl 30+ years no time off or claim miss paying a stamp you losted the lot. so be very carefull hustband at home
