Claiming housing benefits

[kingfahad35]

Hi ,

I own a house and have low income i.e 12K
My wife does not work and I have child under 6 years.

Can I apply for Housing benefits, if i'm paying mortgage ???

and or what other Help I can get ?

Thanks In Advance....

Housing benefit doesn't pay a mortgage, that would be support with mortgage interest (SMI) on means-tested benefits.

What is the immigration status of you and your partner?

We all have ILR / Since March-2014

Child / Wife and Me

Pls advise ?

Claming tax credits? I suggest you go to your local CAB and request a 'what if' calculation.

I'm getting child tax credit and child benefit only.....HM not give me working tax credit due to I had 23k in 2013-2014.
In 2014-2015 is 12k no bonus... working 34hrs a weeks now.
