    could you not take a bank statement to the letting agencies to show you have the money? or maybe get a private landlord and show them too?

    I dont get the money until 31st July :confused:

    I was always under the impression that you could legally claim HB and you couldn't be kicked out?

    No such thing as HB it's LHA now and I wont be claiming it. I will have nealry a years rent money in the bank once i pay off my debts, but because I will be claiming JSA it's a benefit and I come under the 'no DSS' rules

    The upper savings limit on LHA is £16000 so surely you will be able to get some LHA?
