Need somewhere to live but there are one or two issues.
Question Posted Thursday August 18 2011, 10:03 am
Like I said in a previous post, I haven't lived at the family home for a few months now. Today, despite my efforts helping with the shopping and so on my grandparents say they want me out before Christmas and are not willing to wait for my boyfriend to sell his house so that we can live together (like normal couples do).
I am not employed and I am about to start applying for jobseekers allowance, most decent properties are £300 pm or more. I am on the lower end of jobseekers as I am under 21.
How does housing benefit work? How can I get somewhere to live and have my boyfriend able to stay with me without losing any benefit I might need until I can find employment (which I hope will be soon).
