Hi can anybody advise me, I need help with my rent, I have applied for a discretionary housing payment I’m still waiting it’s been a month. I have M.S and the stress of finding the rent money is driving me bonkers

    You might be best advised to seek trained help from a local advice centre near you

    Hi @Fifi69 thank you for sharing this with us. 

    Have you been in touch with your local authority or local CAB, to see if they can offer some support?

    Hi @Fifi69, I'm sorry to hear this. If you haven't already, you may like to have a look on Advicelocal for welfare advice near you.
