If you are in a couple and you both work but one of you gave up work to look after the baby, could you claim housing benefit. I realise it all depends on how much you earn etc but my question is, if you voluntary give up work do you have to wait a year before you can claim (as I think this is the case with jobseekers allowance) or can you claim straight away.
Before anyone starts crying – I work, I always have done, and so has my partner, we arent scroungers, I’m just asking!
Merry crimbo!
