Urgent Housing Advice

Posts: 61 Forumite
I am currently in receipt of JSA, DLA (lower rate on mobility & care) & Housing benefit, although my DLA is coming to an end and I have applied for PIP. I currently rent privetely from an estate agents, and due to only reviving the shared room rate, there is a short fall in my rent which I have been using part of my DLA to pay for - no other option otherwise I would be homeless.
My problem is as my DLA is coming to an end and there is no guarantee that I'll be awarded PIP, what are my housing options? I have physical and learning disabilities but I seem to be lowest priority on social housing. I fear that when my DLA has come to an end, I will become homeless because there is no way I will be able to afford the shortfall in rent.
Other housing options are non-existent because the housing benefit I receive doesn't even cover a shared housing.
It's also more difficult for me to find employment at the moment due to the nature of my disabilities.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
