    Hi

    Did you ever find any information?

    My daughter and I are disabled, and really need to move but don't have any savings/funds/family!

    Take care

    If you claim for help with the rent through housing benefit or housing element of Universal Credit then you can apply for a dicretionary housing payment to help with any rent in advance. No idea if this would cover actual moving costs though. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/claiming-discretionary-housing-payments/claiming-discretionary-housing-payments#what-a-dhp-can-cover
    You can also use google to have some quotes from "man with a van" i've used them a few times myself over the years and they don't charge a fortune. However, you would need to pack all your contents yourself with this, at least i did when i've moved in the past.
