Benefit claims for students

If you are a part-time student, you are able to claim Housing Benefit.

Most full-time students are not eligible for Housing Benefit. However, in special circumstances, you may be able to claim Housing Benefit – for instance, if you:

• are a lone parent,
• qualify for the disability or severe disability premiums; or
• are in receipt of income support.
