hi guys we are in a bit of a mess, and im not well, and am facing that i may have to take early retirement in which case my work pension only be about £6000 a year, only 54 so no state pension for many a long year. my husband is a (mature) student gets student loans and small bursary totally about £6000 also. our mortgage is £545 a month but having to go for voluntary repossession soon, rent will be about £450 i expect. does anyone know if we would be entitled to any sort of top-up benefits or housing benefit on this level of income please?

Contact your local authority, they will be able to advise you regarding housing benefits. It is impossible to advise you on the amount you will receive without knowing a lot more about your personal circumstances.0
