Housing Benefit whilst on apprenticeship?

Hi, i am a single 20 year old female and im currently unemployed and have been for around 10 months and receive job seekers allowance and housing benefit. I live by myself and only just manage to live and pay my bills on £54 a week. I have been looking at doing an apprenticeship which pays £75 a week, i was wondering if i would still be entitled to housing benefit whist on a apprenticeship. If not there would be no way of me being able to pay my rent, council tax, utility bills as well as travel costs on just £75 a week. Can anyone help?
