Help with benefits!???

Hi, I need to know if I would be eligable for housing (or any other) benefits. I am 17 years old and I NEED to move out of my home because of domestic abuse, my older brother has found a house for the two of us. The rent is £700 a month, he said he will pay most of it if I can apply for benefits while I am still at college.

I was wondering if anyone knows if I am eldigble for benefits?

Some more information if needed, as I said I am working full time at college (it will be a 9-4/sometimes 5 job) I wont have time for a job because I am going to ana art college and you need to dedicate SO much time to it.

I cannot stay at home for another year either as the abuse is too much to handle so if anyone can help me out I would be so grateful!

Also if I have to ring the burreau can you give me an idea of what to ask?

Thanks for your time.

You need to make an appointment with your local benefit office and tell them everything…I am almost certain you will get help…your brother may get most of it though as you are under 18 he wil be considered as your gaurdian…they will help you if there is abuse…as to what to ask, write everything down first and get your brother to go along too so they can find out all about his work from him…good luck!
