Redundancy and housing benefit

A question about : Redundancy and housing benefit

Hi

I wonder if someone could help. I am about to be made redundant. At present I am paying rent as a non dependant and as I do not earn much the rest is paid through housing benefit.

If unfortunately after 6 months I am still unemployed and cannot claim JSA through circumstances, or if I choose not to claim JSA at all, would I still have to pay non dependant rent at the same level as I am doing whilst working?

  Hi, Martin's asked me to post this in these circumstances: I've asked Board Guides to move threads if they'll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.
