Housing Benefit On Studio Flat

Post by yusafg » Tue Mar 06, 2018 12:20 pm

Hi All,
Hope you are fine.

I am in the process of applying benefit. I am living in studio flat (Shared Accommodation).
When I was filling application form, in that point, it is showing whole house (5 bedrooms house). It showing whole home under housing benefit. I thought that i could find studio flat detail on council flat (Its separate build flat, but under 5 bedroom house)

I never applied housing benefit.

Could you please tell me how to proceed?

regards,

Yusaf

Is it a room only or do you have your own Spam and bathroom?

What is 'shared' in the property??

Hi,

One thing more. When I am filling form, this is showing as whole house.
It will be wrong if I will claim for whole house.

1. It is not necessary to keep posting your full name when you respond. Please, this is to protect your identity.

2. If the property has not been appropriately split per the Council Planning department, then your unit is not separate at all.
