    Hello and welcome @Steveuk71 and thanks for reaching out. 

    It must be difficult having to manage this while trying to move, have you spoken to anyone about how it's making you feel? If you need ongoing support, it's never too late to contact Victim Support for help. They can also support you in reporting abuse if this wasn't done at the time.

    Just so that I understand more fully, are you looking to rent privately, or move into supported accommodation?

    I see @Steveuk71 thanks for explaining, that's helpful to know. 

    Shelter does have some information on finding landlords who accept benefits, and they do have a helpline and webchat you can use to speak to their advisers, if that's helpful. 

    Is there anything I've missed that you'd still like help with?
