Can I claim tax relief whilst working from home?

I work from home in my bedroom as am sharing a flat with five others. Can I claim income tax for use if electricity, gas and broadband. My employer did give us the option of one or twice a day in the office but I usually go about once a month. I understand it is about £6 a week and I need to apply. Thanks

Only a limited number can now claim as per:

Sound like your employer has an office which you can get to and so no

It looks like you will fit into one of the "personal choice" exclusions from relief. See:
