Hi,

This sounds like a question for your Housing team.

If you can still pay the rent and still have the same support requirements then I don't see why you would have to move out?

Thankyou just abit worried as I don't want to move out if I can help it I have a appointment at the job centre next week would they be able to help?

It's a time frame thing with my self and I was not fit for work then they took this off because I didn't send a doctors note in other wise I would be covered as I suffer with anxiety and depression.

The Job Centre don't usually get involved with Housing.

Supported housing will be managed by an association or your local council. It is them who you need to ask about housing.

I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately the Job Centre only deal with jobs or benefits. It is the housing people who decide whether you are allowed to stay in their housing once you start a Uni course. They are completely separate from the Job Centre.

As I said before, as long as you can still pay the rent, and still need the same support, I would expect them to let you stay. Obviously if you can't afford to pay the rent any more then they would have the right to ask you to move.

Have Universal Credit said whether you will still be entitled to any UC or Housing payments? Or will you now only have the student loan to live on?

They haven't said anything just for me to come in on Friday to talk doesn't make sense and thankyou very much appreciated.
