can any1 help me with wot i should be getting

You probably don't get all the rent paid for because it's more than the going rate for your area.

Also forgot to ask:
Do you have savings over £6k but under £16k?

before i was getting
IS top up /Severe Disablement Allowance £49.10 every 2 weeks and dla

i was clearing £183 per 2 weeks just on IB
plus £43 rent per week

i then called dwp 18months as i was told from a welfare rights work that i was not getting the right benfits after speaking to dwp i recieved letters saying that i should be getting income support and Severe Disablement Allowance but because of my age i earn to much and would only recieved £49.10 every 2 weeks for both

also my rent when up to £260 per month they said i would only recieve this as i earned to much once again. Then on the 11th oct they put it up again to £332 i have also tryed for Discretionary Housing Payment for the last 2 year and was told that i was not entitled to this as i recieved dla and this was to cover the extra costs.

i have tryed explaining this best i can no good at explaining thanks

How much do you earn, I'm assuming you mean wages?

donna1888

dont have any savings.

i dont earn wages just benifits.

i have never had the full rate of rent even when i was a council tenent my rent was £76 per week and was only getting £43 payed.

very few people actually get their full rent paid, you always have to make up a shortfall.

DLA is not counted towards housing benefit.

Dla means extra because you get a premium added to your IS.

Looking at your figures Iwould think you are getting the LHA for your area,and you wont get more.
