Quick question for those in the know! My OH graduates soon and we were planning on moving back in with my parents until he had a job lined up but one is looking hopeful. It's in his desired field- Graphic Design- and he'd be able to work his way up, but it's minimum wage. I'm still a student (OU, no loan) so going on that alone, we would be eligible for a housing benefit top up. A lot of the houses in the area, however, are three bedroom terraces. That just seems to be all there is. They're very cheap, that isn't the issue, but I'm worried that we won't be eligible for housing benefit with three bedrooms when we only have one child. Does it work like this? Or does it not matter and you just get a certain amount of HB depending on wage?
