High Court enforcement still use that term (and Writ of Fi Fe) in England & Wales too, even though the Court forms were changed over a decade ago, so yes, I see what you mean re everyday usage can be confusing, as people use the wrong - included outdated - terminology. In the same way a Letter Before Action became a Letter of Claim 18 years ago. - There you go. I have learned something!

A bit like 'common law wife' and 'Small Claims Court' [neither exist here but are used a lot in everyday usage, sadly]

I presume you are based in Scotland? In which case i'lll defer to your knowledge north of the border. But in E&W a notice to quit does not exist.

sams247 - as well as the DWP's Flexible Support Fund (for eg your travel costs), there's also:

* UC Hardship Fund - similar but slightly different to the JSA scheme. You can apply at the JobCentre Plus office. It isn't taxable or repayable, so is for those in real need of heating, clothes, etc. You can appeal any refusal by requesting a mandatory reconsideration of any decision to refuse your request.
