It depends on your circumstances.
There are several conditions, which are listed on the webpage linked below. The main ones are :
- Renting privately for 183 days (6 months), been able to afford the rent at the time, and be unable to afford the rent due to an unforeseen change in circumstances
- Alternatively, have been assessed as having a housing need by the local authority, and be on the housing list
There is also a means-test which takes into account your income, savings and any other household income (e.g, partner's income if applicable)
