    They gave me a week to leave the house and I don't have a second suitable one, I have a spinal injury, so I need a lawyer to solve this issue, since I don't know my rights as a disabled person

    Shelter would be a place to start and the advice is free. https://www.shelter.org.uk/ A solicitor would charge you, though some may offer 30 minutes free advice.

    What is the grant for? In a previous comment you said you have a week to leave the house? Are you privately renting now? 

    You need to give more information for anyone to be able to help you.

    Hi @Roma190693, have you tried contacting your local Citizen's Advice? We can tell you what services to go to here but our ability to help you through them is limited. Your local Citizen's Advice should be able to go through how to directly access these services. Is your friend able to help with translation?
    They/Them, however they are no wrong pronouns with me so whatever you feel most comfortable with

    What problems are you having exactly? Why are you being evicted? It would help if you can give more information because otherwise no one can give you more specific advice.

    Are they a landlord, a hotel, a host family or a friend? Who wants you to leave the house?

    You will be asked all these questions when you ask your local council for help with housing. 

    You may have to wait until the day of eviction and go straight to the Homeless Person's Unit to register your family. You may be offered bed and breakfast accommodation to begin with.

    Hi Roma, if you are evicted next week.. 

    wait until the day of eviction and go straight to the Homeless Person's Unit to register your family.     You may be offered bed and breakfast accommodation. This is known as emergency housing. Temporary accommodation comes next. Social housing takes even longer.  

    Try the SHELTER website https://www.shelter.org.uk/ for the best information. 

    Your written English is very, very good. We will all try to help you.
