Can you live in the same house after you have sold that to your daughter in law and claim housing benefit from lewisham council?

The Housing Benefit system is there for people on low incomes or in receipt of another state benefit i.e income support,jobseekers allowance,DLA etc.To qualify for these benefits the DSS asks lots of qualifying questions,these questions include how much money you have in savings if any,the answer which you give to this question will affect the eligability for being entitled to the benefit,if you fit the criteria for one of these benefits then you definitely will be entitled to housing benefit.Depending upon which benefits you receive depicts the ammount of housing benefit to which you will receive.If the DSS deny you Housing Benefit you are entitled to a right of appeal against the decision and ask for your case to be looked at again,the decision of the appeal cannot be appealed against and your circumstances will need to change before you may make a new claim.
