Hi,
Recently I was made redundant from my role and was given a good pay off of several months.
Because I'm entitled to it, I was going to claim JB on the day after being made redundant, however the person I am sharing with who has a son, claimed that if I claimed she would have to evict me.
It seems that she is claiming rent allowance for the full property as a one parent family and taking rent from me in addition which she is not declaring which obviously is fraud, no doubt about that at all. But I'm not here to talk about that.
Basically, I'm horrified by this and want to seek a new place ASAP so I can claim JB which is rightfully mine. However, the problem I have encountered is that nobody on DAFT is going to want to take me if I don't have a job, and this is where I have reached a dead end.
Essentially I:
Stay here and not claim JB
Claim JB and get evicted since I assume SW will think it looks dodgy
Give my notice to who I am sharing with and find somewhere else.
Is there anything I should do or say to help me with point 3? I'm aware that what is going on is unethical, but I'm in a spot of bother here and I need help to get out of it before my money runs out.
