Hello,
I've been officially living with my Nan since 2017 in a council house, a year ago she had to move to full time care and now they've stopped her housing benefit and council tax support as she's not coming back. I was under the impression I was on the tenancy but I found out today I'm not when trying to claim council tax support and I'm not really sure what to do? I've been paying the rent at her lower rate since she went into care, there's no way I could afford the full amount.
I'm really not good at this type of thing and I'm very confused as to where I go from here? If I'm not a tenant am I liable for the rent and council tax? Will I be kicked out? Is there any way to claim housing benefit and council tax support without being on the tenancy (I tried online but got stuck on the tenancy start date, that's when I called the council and found out I wasn't on it). I have nowhere else to go and I'm terrified of being made homeless.
I suffer from mental and physical health problems and I receive ESA Support Group, PiP daily living, PiP enhanced mobility and Severe Disability premium.
I just don't even know where to start or who to call. I applied for Universal Credit before finding out I wasn't on the tenancy, they're calling me at 3pm and I don't even know if I'm eligible now.
