Hi @althead
I found this information from Shelter on who is eligible for housing in the UK that might help.
You could try calling your local council for advice or call the Scope helpline on 0808 800 3333
Best of luck

Hello @althead,
You say that you have to leave the B&B on the 20th. Was this B&B provided by the council following a homeless application? If so, what was the outcome of the homeless application?
If you want to talk more about your situation but don't want to talk in public please feel free to get in touch with me at the helpline.
Best wishes
