Loss of Housing Benefit

Journey68

Hello.

I am currently unfit for work. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, GAD, cPTSD, Social Anxiety, and Autism. I don't go out of the house and find socialising extremely anxious provoking to the point I don't socialise.

Under these new work assessment schemes, if they declare me fit for work and I simply can't, they will stop my benefits, does this mean my housing benefits will also stop and I will lose my house?

Thank you.

I should add we are living in a rented council house.

I wouldn't worry, it's still got to go through and hopefully be challenged. I'm in the same situation. There should be housing support fund the councils do.

I hope you are right because it is scary

Hi @Journey68

It's very understandable why you are feeling so anxious, it is a very unknown time

We've created this discussion for everyone to talk about it here - The Green Paper Discussion

We'd prefer to keep the conversations regarding this all in one place, so as to protect the mental health of all on the community, so we will be closing this discussion. I hope you understand.
