Do you have to move? Can't the children attend a school near where you live now?
Just a thought!

That way you wouldn't have the hassle of waiting for a buyer, could still keep your ESA and not have to travel further for schooling?

Also your Daughter could live with you rent free and you wouldn't have to buy and live in a caravan - which is not ideal in winter and as Woodbine pointed out where would you park it? Siting it could be costly!

hi

sorry i'm finding your posting is a bit confusing. It's not clear why you are unable to wait until your home is sold before moving out.
Would a caravan be the correct solution for your disability needs?
You say you can't rent your house out as you would no longer be eligible for esa. Dla isn't means tested but esa is. Wouldn't the house sale money mean that you would no longer be eligible for esa?

If your house has been on the market for a long time have you tried all methods available to sell it. Local newspaper advertising yourself/estate agent/sign outside the house/internet advertising.

You don't want to claim housing benefit but are you currently eligible to claim it and if you are why don't you want to?

Are you not able to wait until the house is sold to move foreward or is there an urgent need to move quickly?

Edited bit......
Yes, i re-read your 2nd post and see the reason is the childrens' school. Is travelling for a short time going to be impossible as the holidays are coming up and you might have sold up by september?

hi little mo was told if you carn't sell the house you have to stay where you are and if you do sell you must buy a house as soon as possible if you make enough money to buy another

You are still being very vague. Who told you this and why?
Is someone trying to make you do something you don't want to?
So far you've paid for a house you can't find a buyer for, you want to live in a caravan, to keep your ESA, and let your daughter live in the house rent free. You have two children who have to join a new school in a different area - not sure why. You don't claim HB although I don't know why we need to know this as I don't think you are eligible anyway.

This is all a bit of a mystery to me. I have advised as best I can but I really don't know what else to say.

Hope you get where you want to be soon. Good luck
