If you can get custody and claim child benefit, then you claim WTC/CTC, otherwise you would need to be working 30hrs + and over 25yrs,to get WTC only.

Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit seem to be benefits that you would get paid on an income of around £200 p/w, its worth filling in the forms and applying to your local council - the worst they coudl say is No.
