Hi @Maggie7913, and welcome to the community!
I'm sorry to hear about your experiences. First and foremost I'd recommend checking out the online benefits calculator to make sure you're claiming everything you may be entitled to: housing benefit in particular may be one to look into. You may also like to search for grants that you may be entitled to. Hope this helps!1 -
Hi @Maggie7913,
You can apply for a Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP) from your local authority to help you with the shortfall in your rent.
Hope that helps too.
Best wishes
