Housing Benefit Advice

chicca

Just a quick query I am hoping someone can anyone advise or assist with info: as a lone parent currently working a 20 hour week and in receipt of LHA, Child Benefits and Working Tax Credits.......now looking to go into full time study.

Any idea of what entitlements I would have?? I am adamant to study as I have put it off for way too long but I fear "how to survive" especially with a child etc.

You will need to ask your college/uni about loans and grants that are available to you as a lone parent, but some of them are taken into account for LHA purposes, even if you do not take them so its best to take them all.
How old is your child? If under 7 you can still claim income support.
