hi there just looking for some advice.
i am a single parent receiving ctc and wtc, and chb. i am on minimum wage and was wondering if i qualified for housing benefit. how do i find out.
i pay full rent since i moved in 5 years ago (£273.60) and also if i am, does it get backdated
any help would be great thanks x

You need to put your LHA rate in and then entitledto will tell you how much you're entitled to.

that is only applicable if it a private rent - with a rent so low I am guessing that it is not private so LHA does not apply and it will be housing benefit - entitledto will deal with that if you select the corrent dropdown on the first screen re housing
