Thanks for all the replies and advice, I will give the HA a call tomorrow and have a look at some man with a van companies and see if I can get anything from them.

I contacted the HA and they said they don't have anything like incentives or anything to help, I contacted the Jobcentre people and said they will send out some forms for a budgeting loan (I'm not sure if I'll be able to get that as I'm only on JSA) and I've emailed the people I'm hopefully moving with about sharing the cost of moving (the HA advised me on this as well) but not got a response as yet.

My current employer a HA in surrey gives £2500 if your giving up 1 room £4,000 for 2 or more bedrooms BUT we have already used up our budget for this year as we have been inundated with people wanting to downsize
So there is no more cas til April people can still downsize but there's no cash incentive.

What a joke - being given money to move from a property that is too large for your needs!
