    Maybe, but we've shown how you can do what you want to do without relying on benefits which you may or may not qualify for.

    Ask for more hours at work, and see if there is work there for your partner. If not look for a job for her and a second job for yourself. Then go flat-hunting and not be restricted to landlords that accept tenants in receipt of housing benefit.
