Can you lie to landlords?

Some Local Authorities have schemes for Private Landlords. I would definitely check with them, as I believe (a) the schemes can be less restrictive re: housing points, and (b) your disability benefits will equate to a particular level of points, anyway.

What is the scenario requiring you to move? If your present accommodation is unsuitable, or has become unsuitable, you should be able to get assistance.

edit: Found this... (assumed Essex from the above post).

Agree with this post - in Manchester there is a similar LA scheme called LetsHelpYou: https://manchester.letshelpyou.co.uk/lets/.

You should go to agents where you want to live and explain it's not job seeker, LLs tend to lump benefits into one pot when it's not.

If you say you are self employed you need to provide 2 years (atleast) worth of accounts to the reference company used/agent if in house.
