    Help with rent via UC is called Housing Element.

    How much Housing Benefit did you used to get?

    Do you rent privately or live in social housing?

    How many occupants and how many bedrooms?

    Heya @GR67 and welcome to the community.
    I can see Kimi is all poised to help you and I don't want to get in the way. I just wanted to pop in and say hi. 😊
