how much benefit money can a single person get?

[caz81]

If you are a single person without any children how much benefit money can you claim? Can you just claim job seekers allowance or are there other benefits you can claim too?

 

[Jemma_x]

As a single mum i get income support, child tax credit and child benefit

 

[Tegans Mama]

Without children you can clam JSA if you are able to work (about £55 a week) or ESA if you are sick (same as JSA at the start)

how much do you get a month(if you don't mind me asking)

Can you also still claim housing benefit?

 

[Tegans Mama]

If you get Income support you can claim the full LHA for your area

Not sure how much OP's IS is but I think its meant to be about £70 a week IS and then £60 a week Child tax and £20 Child benefit.
