hi everyone hope you can help,
I been on the local webisites check for benefits for them but only find tax credits not sure about if and how much housing benefit they entitled to,

basically
my mum works 33 hours a week monthly wages before tax etc 891.
her husband got the sack from his job and went on agency straight away and told him there's hardly any work, so at moment he hasn't got a job and looking (all happened in the last week)

anyway there in a rented accomadation so with money tight and landlord to pay there struggling alot.

sorry they have no children under 16

so basically wondered if anyone could help me work out what they entitled to as they dont really want to go homeless

They need to check to see if they are entitled to Housing and Council Tax benefit.

Visit their local council website, find the Benefit Calculator, fill it in and see what it says.

If they are in private rented they need to know their LHA rate http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Diol1/DoItOnline/DG_196239
