Hi All

We can no longer stay in our rented property and are having to live in temporary accommodation while we try to find a decent local house.

If this changes all my expenditures will my payments need to change or do I leave it all as it is until my next review in January 2014.

Hi, sorry to read this and hope you find somewhere more permanent very soon.

I would keep your IP in the loop all the way along and not wait until review time.

Speak to your IP as you need to make him/her aware of any changes of address and circumstances. You may even get a payment break to raise the deposit and rent in advance for the new property.

Thanks for your responses. I am worried my payments will increase if we spend less. I need to stash any money to pay for the move!

Hi Mrsfaz speak to your IP asap to explain what is happening and what commitments are going to be required of you. As Michaels says a payment break might be what you need to generate the money for a deposit. If your I&E changes in the short term you IP may not amend your payments for now, only if they are still different at the next review. Your IP will not leave you struggling or put having a roof over your head at risk.

Keep us posted and hope you find a new home soon so you can get settled again.

Thanks Tina
