College Housing help v.over25
If you are over 25 you qualify for Working tax Credits and Housing benefits - be sure to look it all up.

Hiya,
If you're over 25 and single, you're most likely to be eligible for Working Tax Credit (it does depend on you not having substantial savings, etc). Some councils will accept a letter from the college to make you exempt from council tax, but I don't think you're generally eligible for housing benefit.
Hope that helps.

EU citizens are eligible for the same things as UK citizens as far as this goes. You can only apply once you've started work (or no earlier than one week before you're due to start). You need to phone for an application pack to be sent to you (no online applications) - see HMRC Tax Credits - Do I qualify?, What are tax credits for more details.
