Just signed up as I'm very anxious about this and had to ask. Please be nice! this question will be better here sorry!
Will people who are in housing with support staff to help them live there daily life get looked at more favourably weather they are accepted for the new benefits? there is a ton of extra costs by living in supported housing that I wouldn't be able to afford if I get rejected (on top of food, clothes etc). One of my friends who live independently and without a disability has almost half the cost I do with the extra support which I need.

They are based on your needs and the support you need. Do not panic. When you get the forms the support staff will help you fill them in and explain your needs.0
