Housing benefit help!

I am a single parent with 2 nearly 19 year old daughters who are finishing college next month.I work part time only(£16000 per annum) and at the moment I get housing,child benefit and child tax credit.
As far as I am concerned,I would have to inform the benefit offices when my children finish their education.My question is : Am I going to be able to get any housing benefit once they finish college or they will be considered as adults and no financial help will be provided any more?
Thanks in advance!

Your daughters will be considered as adults when they leave college so your benefits will change. If they will be living at home and working then their contributions for keep will go some way towards compensating for this. Your best bet is to start looking for full time work.0
