to get full housing and council benefit you cant be working as its based on either job seekers allowance or income support
if you earned 50pounds a week you would be liable to pay 50 percent of council tax and housing benefits,and the benefits would make up the rest,
my friend earns 30 pounds a week and her rent is 76 pounds she has to pay 17 pounds towards her rent,every circumstances is different if you need to know phone your local housing benefit and council tax benefit office for a accurate amount

Nothing happens unless: 1. Your mother details what she wishes to happen to the house by way of a will and/or; 2. Your mother marries. Even if she does marry, the house is not automatically passed to her husband upon death. The new partner does not acquire property rights by osmosis; if has to be your mother conscious decision. Your concern for your mother's happiness in the remaining years of her life is inspirational to us all. Edit: Chosen Man's answer below is complete poppycock. Her will becomes null and void on marriage? Name the case or statute that says so. What total and absolute legal tripe! None of the Judges I've been in front of know that particular law.

The Government stipulates that a single person needs a minimum of £138.10 a week to live on but your income can be more than that to cover council tax and rent, but they do take savings into account. You cannot get housing benefit if you work more than 16 hours a week. There are additional factors taken into account such as disability, etc.

If you are from UK (you have not told us), they take into account both your earnings and your savings, as well as other things. They always make things as complicated as possible in case people get 1p more than they deserve.- The real money is needed to build Tridents and aircraft carriers to play the tough guy in world politics.
The best thing is to telephone the council and let them work it out for you, if they are not on holiday or off sick etc, etc.

I'm surprised that a single person, living alone, under 25 is eligible for housing or any other welfare benefits, especially if you have a job.

It depends on where you live. If you live in an area where the market rent is less than 400, you can't make more than minimum wage. I know in some areas of Denver, you can qualify for low-income housing and make 35,000/yr. If your in LA, I bet its a lot higher than that.

That would depend on the the level of your rent, in relation to your earnings, don't know the exact amount but, I believe you have to be on the minimum wage scale.

All you have to do is make a phone call to your local country council and all will be revealed.
