Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit entitlement
Fri 31-Jul-09 02:03 PM

My client currently is on sponsorship undertaking, her sponsor (daughter)has left the country (UK), no longer providing any financial support for her mother. My client is not eligible ofr Pension Credit and she is living in a private rented accommodation at present. I would like to know whether my client is eligible for Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit.

Thankyou,

If she has no recourse to public funds, she is not entitled to housing benefit or any other benefits.
