housing benefit/paternity pay
Hey does anybody know if we would be entitled to more housing benefit when my other half takes his 2 weeks paternity leave? I really dont understand how it all works to be honest but we currently get part of our rent paid by housing benefit and when he takes his leave he will only get a fraction of his usual wage so its gonna be hard for us to cover what we usualy would have to pay towards the rent from what he is going to get paternity pay. So im wondering if they would top it up for those 2 weeks....? If that makes any sence 2 any1 ? lol tia xx
No but try contacting the landlord/housing ass and see if they can help you in any way. If they know you are going to struggle with rent they can offer some advice. We got behind with rent and they spread the cost over future rent payments x
