Housing benefits on 0 hour contract?

Hey there,

I've been on a 0 hour contract for a few months now and the hours have always been reasonable/very good. It's allowed me to pay off my rent and all bills every month on time with enough left over to let me lead a great social life. It's even allowed me to pay off some of my debt. However, this month (for pay in December) the hours just seem to disappear and in the first 2 weeks of this month, I'll have earned less than £100. Which isn't even close to paying my rent, nevermind my bills/money to live.

I'm just wondering if I'm entitled to any help to help me pay for things during this month?

Thanks for any help
