OK thanks for that info. I guess my real concern, if anyone knows is what will happen if we don't qualify for HB and can't pay our rent? Are we on the streets or will we possibly be entitled to another benefit? My husband gets mid rate care DLA and contribution based ESA Thanks again

Hi. Ok thanks, that makes sense. We spent the money on lots of different things including starting a business which failed, a secondhand car and Van, holidays, gave money to struggling friends, rent, bills, debts etc. Shelter appealed the housing benefit rejection letter and failed I'm worried about what will happen if I'm unable to work and unable to claim housing benefit as well. Does anyone know what would happen? Thanks for your help and advice, I really appreciate it

Hi there. Many thanks for your help. I didn't want to put full details on the page so have PM'd Mr. P. I wondered also if anyone knew how to get a projection without actually applying for HB, does anyone know if that's possible please.? Very many thanks in advance.

Hello there. I wonder if anyone knows oh how I can find out when we will be accepted for housing benefit again after our appeal was turned down in 2015 because we were found to have deprived ourselves of capital. Is there a time limit does anyone know or is it just calculated on when they think the money would have been rightfully spent (i.e. On necessities not luxuries) I work but my husband is long term sick but it looks like I may have to give up or drastically cut my hours due to both my husband needing more care and serious concerns over my health and ability to carry on working. I'm really worried if I have to give up work as we won't be able to pay our rent. Any advice will be very gratefully received. Thanks
