  Hi @KT1363 - & welcome to the community. There are only a few situations in which a new claim for Housing Benefit can be made, which you can see here: https://www.turn2us.org.uk/get-support/information-for-your-situation/housing-benefit-england-scotland-and-wales/can-i-get-housing-benefit

  You could try this benefits calculator to see how it would work out financially if you looked at Universal Credit with which, as you seem to know, you could get help with your housing costs: https://benefits-calculator.turn2us.org.uk/survey/1/a16c31b6-4da1-47ad-a361-0c79de6a7a65
