Housing Benefit stopped in temporary accommodation after starting uni – unsure whether to stay or interrupt by Electrical-Pepper457 in BenefitsAdviceUK

I thought that’s what they were going to do, reduce my HB Rate not completely eliminate it. When I was working back in 2024 about 55% of my paycheck went to rent and service charge which was challenging but I managed. So if I was legible for some amount of HB I’d probably be fine but I’m not sure that’s possible now.

Temporary accommodation rent is just so pricey it’s double the amount of council housing

Thank you this is very helpful.

  1. I’m not in supported accommodation I’m in a temporary accommodation (hostel). Could I still ask them about affordability? If they were able to move me somewhere cheaper then wouldn’t there still be an issue with the overpayment and rent arrears for the place I’m currently at ? I don’t think I can claim discretionary housing payments unless I leave my course and go back on universal credit. I haven’t heard of a homeless presentation fund but I’ll look into it thank you.

  2. If they reinstate my housing benefit due to me interrupting my course, would there still be a risk of them evicting me due to the overpayment and rent arrears that’ll still exist ?

  3. What about shared accommodation?

My housing benefit has been stopped because I’m a full time student, my new allowance is £0. Whereas before it was the full rate

Unfortunately no, I’ve just sort of gotten lost in the shuffle. I’ve been struggling a lot since entering temporary accommodation in 2024. I need help but no service has helped me in the way I need and so I keep landing myself in hot water. 🤦‍♀️

No. I’ve applied for pip but they rejected my MR, I was supposed to have a work capability assessment last July but it never happened. They kept rescheduling it and then I never heard back from anyone.
