in Housing and independent living
Hello everyone I hope you all are okay. I am a little stress and need information. I get pip and get housing benefits, I have decided to work part time I will be working 16 -20 hours a week but wanted to know if my housing benefits will stop? As I won't be able to afford my rent but at the same time I want to get back in to employment.

    Your Housing Benefit will be affected. You could try a benefits calculator to see what impact there will be. 
    Are you claiming anything else?

    If you start working you will need to report the changes to HMRC as well.

    Hi @solly1902 have our members replies helped to answer your question at all, or is there anything you're still unsure about? 

    I hope you're looking forward to working a new job soon? What sort of work are you looking into? :)
