I'm currently claiming job seekers allowance and I also have a zero hour contract job which I'm going to hand in my notice for. I'm also not getting any hours at the moment.
Would my benefits be affected if I leave even though I'm not making a new claim?

If you are not getting any hours why resign? Just find another job and take it from there.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0

I should have probably mentioned in my post that the job I currently have is making me feel unhappy and unappreciated. I actually cried last week about the job. I just want out of there.0

You don't have to accept any hours if you don't want to. I do understand how you feel, I quit a permanent well paid job as I was heading for a breakdown and it was making my physical health worse than it is, I temped for months before landing my new job.
Can you temp? Can you take a seasonal job or part-time job somewhere?
I'm not sure what line of work you do or can do, but I just don't see the benefit of you quitting when you are not getting hours anyway.
I can't answer the benefit side, but hopefully someone will be able to soon.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0 -

No, leaving your zero hour contract job will not affect your benefit based upon what you have told us.Our green credentials: 12kW Samsung ASHP for heating, 7.2kWp Solar (South facing), Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh), Net exporter0 -
As pointed out, there is no need to resign, simply decline further work if you don't want it.
Perhaps you would benefit from building up resilience generally.Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0 -
To confirm that there would be no sanction for leaving a zero hours contract :
