Housing benefit on a new tenancy

Are you able to claim HB on a new tenancy? An estate agent told me you are unlikely to be able to process a claim unless you are only working a few hours a week, not 16+ as I am.
Does anyone know if this is correct? And can you claim after a certain amount of time?
Thanks
