Rendundancy and Claiming Benefits

Just an update:
We should find out this Thursday If there's to be redundancies and how many.
BUT
Having spoken to the CAB I've found I may get around £80 Child Tax Credits
LHA is only £82 a week leaving me a shorfall of over £200 on my rent, but I'm told when the eldest lad turns 16 he becomes an 'adult' in their eyes and LHA will increase to £91 as that's for a 3 Bedroomed house. We already live in a 3 bed, but they will only pay for 2 Bedrooms because of the boys ages.
Ironicaly, the last house we lived in was 2 bed and it was the same rent as this! We moves to get more house for the money, but the council will only pay the same rent as if I were in one of their houses, which I can't get!
Many thanks to all who replied
