Housing advice

Hi all,
I need a bit of advice. So i have a bad relationship with my family as they don’t approve of my sexuality and so have asked me to leave. I have been to my local council before but they advised me to speak with my family and try to get them to let me stay. Fast forward a couple years I can’t do it any longer. I have sofa surfed and slept rough.
I think I am entitled to benefits as I have disabilities and have to use specialist medical equipment. However, I am a student in my last year and so am not sure how this works.
If anyone has any advice I’d be more than grateful. Thanks in advance

More information is needed to be able to help you. Do you have children? Do you claim PIP or DLA?0

Go to see your University or college welfare advisor to discuss your situation and ask what help is available.The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.0

Have you ever looked to see if the way your health affects you could qualify you for Personal Independence Payment?

Hi yeah I applied for pip around 3 years ago and scored zero, appealed it and scored 2 so it made me feel a bit disheartened. Do you think it’s worth applying again?0

There's no way for me to know. You have to work through the descriptors to see whether or not you think you should score points.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
