Renting after redundancy

Luckily when this happened to me this year, the council give you 12 weeks full housing benefit, if you had lived in the property for over a year, this is to give you some room to look for a new job. Luck for me I was back to work in two weeks. (I would have got the 1 bed rate for the whole 12 weeks if needed, because i had taken on the private rental when I was able to pay the rent) and im 30.
Sorry but are you sure that statement is true about a shared room rate? I am 26, 27 this month and I am in a 1 bedroom flat and I get the all housing benefit and I am on JSA at the moment. I moved into my flat on 30th of January 2012.
I am renting it from a Housing association called Calico Housing, here is the website. http://www.calico.org.uk/
Oh and I live in Burnley, North West
