Part 1: Overview
You could get Housing Benefit to help you pay your rent if you're on a low income.
Housing Benefit can pay for part or all of your rent. How much you get depends your income and circumstances.
You can apply for Housing Benefit whether you're unemployed or working.
You may also be able to get help with your rent if your benefits stop.
Housing Benefit can't be paid for heating, hot water, energy or food - if you need help, use the benefits adviser to see what else you might be entitled to.
