Whatever you do, don't get a loan: it'll only make everything worse...

Hi,

Have you applied to get help with your rent? You can get a Housing Benefit form from your local Council Office.

You are also entitled to exemption from the Council Tax, if you are a full-time student and can obtain a certificate (giving details of college course) from your college. Again it is an application form from your local Council Office.

Cheers
