  • Do I get full Housing Benefit I'm entitled to? If not, what to do?


    Means-tested income entitlements

    JSA £0.00 £0.00 On the basis of the data entered you are not entitled to JSA (Income Based)
    Means-tested bill reductions
    Council Tax Support £773.98 £14.84 Your full Council Tax bill of £17.43 per week will be reduced to £2.59 per week because of your entitlement to Council Tax Support.
    Housing Benefit £9,811.36 £188.68 We have calculated your entitlement using Local Housing Allowance rules.
    Total Entitlements £10,585.34 £203.52

    From here:



    I am only getting £88 / week.
    I was getting 100% before but that is a 13-week protection I was entitled to, having afforded my rent 100% before I became unemployed. Now this amount is reduced to £88/week.

    The calculator did ask which is my Local Council so I would presume is correct, but then I'm not getting £100/week, and from the looks of it, it doesn't go towards CT either as that's shown separately as well.

    Is this true?
    What should I do to claim my full entitlement in this case?

    ps - does my citizenship matter in this case at all? I am a UK resident but not a citizen, yet I paid taxes for 30 months after my wages, quite a lot I think. The calculator says I'm not entitled to JSA only cos I added that I already claim the amount it listed for me to be claimed.

    This could be a life saver as I'm behind with rent.
    Thanks a lot!
