Working part time does not automatically rule out Housing Benefit, but your council will assess your earnings, savings, rent and household circumstances. Most working-age people who rent privately or from a housing association usually claim the housing-costs part of Universal Credit instead, although Housing Benefit may still apply in situations such as supported or temporary accommodation. If you have reached State Pension age, Housing Benefit may be relevant depending on your circumstances. Check the official GOV.UK guidance or ask your local council which benefit you should claim and how your income will be assessed.
