    HB depends on a number of things will you rent privately or definitely social housing? Are you over 35? If you are only looking at social housing (council or housing assoc.) then there are long waiting list and a single person on their own will always be anything but a priority.
    Is there any problem living where you do? Perhaps your GP or CMH (if you are under them) could offer some help/advice.
    It might also be worth having a chat with CAB.

    You need to refer yourself for a care needs assessment through gov website 

    They will assess your housing needs and di a report which may move you into a higher band
