were about to privately rent, however cos were deemed as not having enough income to cover the rent in the mortgage calculator the estate agent uses we have to pay 6 months in advance...
This will be all our savings gone.
My question is, when i apply for housing benefit will it go against me as they may think if i have paid 6 months already i dont require help with it?:shocking:

Ta Daaaaaaaaaaaaaa
ok, thanks for that, i hope it doesnt affect mine either, our rents 850 a month so i need £5100
i looked at the HB form online for greenwich council and theres no questions on there to ask such a question if ive paid in advance, but, i thought if they had to confirm with the estate agent or if i need to show proof of rent i may have to show a reciept of some kind or a statement, therefore reveling how much ive paid? dont know how it all works but ill keep my fingers crossed...

I got told for every £250 you have over £6k, it's reduced by £1.
