If you are of working age unless you're living in either supported or temporary housing then you won't be able to start a new claim for housing benefit because it no longer exists.Instead you will need to claim Universal Credit. Whether you qualify will totally depend on your circumstances. If you live with a partner you claim as a couple and your joint circumstances will be taken into consideration.If your health condition limits your capability to work then you can report a health condition and send a fit note within 7 days of that. You must continue to send fit notes until a decision is made on your work capability assessment. Your PIP award will have to relevance to the WCA decision.Some links here regarding UC and claiming with a health condition. https://www.gov.uk/health-conditions-disability-universal-credit
