Facts about Housing Benefit
Even if you are unemployed and get full Housing Benefit, it doesn't necessarily mean you will get enough to cover your full rent.
Single people under 25 (without children) are expected to find a single room in a shared house. You will not get enough Housing Benefit to cover the costs of a self-contained flat.
