    You are getting a lot of good advice here but you need to speak to someone who may be able to help you “on the ground”

    Rent plus arrears is £114? That was agreed to be paid after court order. HB is £89 per week. Short fall is £25 per week because there are arrears being paid off by order of the court. She needs to have been paying £89 + £25 to get to the £114 and the two weeks before the HB came through needed to be made up. So that the whole thing balances out at £114 paid every week since ordered by the court.

    It sounds to me as if this hasn't happened. It sounds as if the £25 a week shortfall hasn't been paid and the weeks before the housing benefit came through aren't up to date. Plus there was something about an extra £100 a month which I don't know whether it was part of the court order or not.

    What date does the paperwork have on it for the warrant to be executed?

    That's how long you have but as previously advised there are things you can do in the meantime
