If you retain your current home you won't be able to claim Universal Credit including help with rent (Housing Element). A house that you don't live in would be counted as capital and take you over the limit for UC which is £16k.

It is possible to get it disregarded for 6 months (potentially more) if it's up for sale.

Should your Mum get a qualifying benefit, you won't be able to claim Carers Allowance as you already get CB ESA.

Is it possible for your Mum to offer you financial support?
