Extract from the Hb guidnance manual found at:
http://www.dwp.gov.uk/housingbenefit/manuals/hbgm/parts/ptbw_02b.asp#b_w250
states as follows, which couldn't be clearer:
W2.51 For tax credits, see Income from tax credits later in this chapter. If a claimant receives a payment of earnings or other income for
one week or less, the weekly amount is the amount of that payment. For example, if a claimant with a part-time job works and is paid for two days each week, the weekly amount is the amount of that payment one month, the weekly amount is calculated by multiplying the payment received by 12 and dividing the product by 52 three months, the amount to be included in the weekly income is calculated by multiplying the payment received by four and dividing the product by 52 a year, the amount to be included in the weekly income is calculated by dividing the amount of payment by 52 any other period, the average weekly income is calculated by multiplying the amount of payment received by seven and dividing product by the number of days in the period in respect of which it is made HB Reg 33; CTB Reg 23
