Housing benefit UK..?

Question

Can someone get housing benefit for a £650pm rented house if they dont work, all they get is £300pm CSA but they have 50K savings?

Thanks x

Answer 1

No, savings over £16,000 I think disqualify you from receiving any Housing Benefit.  Check the websites.  Btw, you do have to tell them about your savings because you have to provide bank statements when you claim.

Answer 2

probably not if you have savings totalling more than 16k then they probably wont help you at all

Answer 3

NO because you have enough savings to pay the rent yourself.

dont be so greedy, when there are hardworking individuals who cant afford a place even though they work and pay loads of taxes.

Answer 4

you don't get any benefits if you have savings of over £3k. Child Support Agency passes over money, deducted from fathers income to support child. Not classed as a benefit.

Answer 5

No becaus eyou have enough savings to pay the rent for yourself

Answer 6

no, u have savings they wont do it, but u could tell a little porkie, dont tell them u have bank account or savings, csa wont or shouldnt effect it either, u should claim a benefit tho if u dont work, income support, job seekers allowence, that would help u alot better, just dont tell them about ur savings,

good luck,

Answer 7

very unlikely with that amount of savings.

Answer 8

unlikely. hb takes into account how much you have in savings. the upper limit is around £8,000. you have to use savings first.
