    IF you are entitled - then because you are now more than 8 weeks in arrears, then the landlord can apply directly to the councl to have the benefit paid directly to him.... that might keep him sweet for a while.. but it does depend on your circumstances and why your benefits have been stopped - you must have some idea surely ?
