Housing

Chimes

Hi everyone, I wrote on here before about housing a while ago but didn't go anywhere with that so writing again.

I'm 29 and have aspergers, ocd, depression and anxiety. I want to live more independently but don't work due to my conditions and get esa and pip benefits. I currently live with my mum who is my carer as well and I know she can't look after me forever but I have know idea where to go about housing but was wondering if I qualify for housing benefits?

I live in Portsmouth if that helps.

Would be great to read more info about how I go about living more independently in my own place.

  • At 29 you should get housing ben. I'm just wondering if there's any chance you could get in on a sheltered housing project, so you'd get your independence but with someone there to support you as and when needed. 

    I bet your mum worries about your future too. Can she help you transition to a life style like that now, while she is  spritely enough to do that?
