At what rate are your household expenses rising? (including all essentials like food, travel, bills etc.)
Could I get help to pay my rent, even though I am in employment?
You may be able to claim for benefits to help you pay your rent, whether you are in council housing or renting privately.
Apply through your local council. These benefits are means-tested (they depend on what you earn).
