Moving area and BR

Hi hope someone can give me advice. I am going BR in the next few months. I am currently looking for a place to rent. Given the cost of housing it seems unlikely that I will be able to remain in my current location, probably having to move 10 - 15 miles away. This will put me in a different court area. I cant remember where I heard it but I believe you cannot apply for BR straight away in a new area, is this so? If this was the case would I be better applying to my current court the minute I have a tenancy but will have not given the house to voluntary repossession stating this adress and be dealt with here even though by the time I get to court I may have moved and certainly by OR interview will have done?Also do I put current mortgage payment down or what I intend to pay when I move (very limited budget) on my SOA.
Thank you
