Anyone with knowledge of rental property and housing benefit..

Basically i live in rented accomodation which is 520 quid a month.. its so not worth it, and im dying to move.. because i and my partner lost our jobs, we are claiming housing benefit, which only amounts to 360 pounds a month, so w have to magically find it from somewhere.. Im nearly 5 months pregnant, and all i want to do is move to back up where i come from originally.. which is 60 miles away although different council..
Where do i stand how renting a property but needing housing benefit from one council, when i am claiming in a different one, for a different property?
Any input would be valued..
Thanks..!
