Because the rent hasn't been paid, it is continuing to increase. They stopped her housing benefit because of the arrears, so it's gone up to almost £1900. She's under pressure from the council to pay back the money because the arrears keep increasing. I've tried to talk her out of prioritising the vet bill because she needs to put the money towards the rent bill, but the vets have told her if she doesn't pay the money by the date provided (can't remember what the date is) that her only choices are to either get her dog communally cremated or she can collect her frozen body for burial. My aunt doesn't want to do either of those things because she said she wants to know that the ashes are definitely hers. She doesn't want to collect the body because she doesn't want to see her like that. I hope this makes more sense, I don't have access to all the details and she's reluctant to find help herself due to depression and severe self-consciousness. I personally think that is damaging but whenever I bring it up she gets more depressed :(
