Can I claim council tax benefit if I left my job

happenstance

Hello,

I quit a job (was becoming increasingly difficult to do with the new management and their expectations) was quite demotivating and I think they were shortly about to push me to leave and seeing as I have less than two years legally they could of done this easily.

I'm now thinking about claiming council tax benefit / support.

Am I able to do this?

Also if I'm starting my own company to be self employed is there any more I could claim? It's unlikely I would turn a profit within 12 months

Thanks

Yes but you need to apply for it at your local authority and not through the dwp.
