Housing benefit would i be entitled

lisaking

Im soon to be moving out off my current house and going it alone ive tried the HBcalculator but each time it has a different figure.

Most houses im after in my region are 500.00 per month after i have paid out my 2 loans i have 512.00per month for to live on

Not sure what tax credits i would get till i move

Any advise at all?

your income would be considered too high, if you rent on your own you will feel the squeeze, are you able to reduce the loan payments, or maybe take on a 2nd job

do they not take into account what your left with ?
985.00 is only 246.25 a wk thats before your deductions

Maybe ring them and ask

Loan repayments are your own responsibility, they are not taken into account. You will not be entitled to housing benefit on £985. You earn a lot more than many people have to survive on. Find somewhere cheaper to live.

I earn £166 a week and when I was renting I wasn't entitled to HB and I'm on my own with 2 children.

Like HB are going to take into account loan payments,bills etc,before they work out if your entitled to anything.Not likely or most of the country would be claiming it.
£246 a week is a heck of alot more than some people bring in a week.

I dont claim either but common sense tells you they wouldnt let you pay all your bills out of your wages before calculating HB.
