    it is entirely possible to claim HB based on a low income without being on an income based Benefit (JSA, ESA, IS)

    Whether you are entitled to any help will depend on your age/whether you have a partner/your local housing allowance/your salary.

    Put your details into the benefit calculator on https://www.entitledto.co.uk to see if you are eligible.
