Going to be homeless soon

So i am going to be homeless soo, the A4E people have screwed me over and have instigated that i am to be on the streets! That's no lie, my advisor (who already has done this to other people in cases where the papers have condemed him for doing so) has somehow got onto my landlords and all of a sudden i am getting my notice! I culd give you his name but theres no point really.

Anyway, without an address, can i still claim benefit, at the moment i am not really fit to work, and i am in Scotland btw?

    Sorry but I find that very hard to believe. A4E have no idea who your landlord is, only the council do.

    go to your local housing office asap and tell the duty caseworker
    that you are potentially homeless.
    they will know how to advise you.

    if you think that something isn't legally right about what's going on you could give shelter a call too and see what they say.

    You've no way of knowing what information might of been given to A4E by the op and what info they might share with the council.

    Yes from one of my old (government) jobs. We used to exchange data with the council via an electronic link daily.

    What proof is there that A4E have done what you say, and what possible benefit would they have in making you homeless?
