HI there, so sorry you are going through this.  As a previous poster has mentioned keep trying to contact Citizens advice.   The advice you receive will vary based on whether you are married and have dependent children, what things/assets are in which names etc.  If you are disabled, you are classed as a vulnerable person and may have increased rights to homelessness protection.  If you have no income of your own or a small income from assets you may be able to apply for varying rates of Universal Credit which can cover living and housing costs with expectations to work or complete lower/no ability to work assessments.  

As I say, start with Citizens Advice and keep going on your PIP mandatory reconsideration.  It all seems overwhelming but while you wait for a response maybe look at the Shelter website, Universal Credit government website.  You can also try and see if you book half hour free with a local solicitor if you want to discuss things like financial assets etc.

If you are in any danger of harm by your ex in your current living situation, please also consider Women's Aid.

Sorry that you are in such a horrible situation. 

I would agree with other suggestions that you should get legal advice and keep attempting to contact Citizen’s Advice.

If I were in your situation, I would ask my solicitor if I had any rights over remaining in my current accommodation or in moving to new accommodation. 

Aw that's a shame. Relationship are difficult 

in terms of the house unless you've put money into it (including through renovations) there is not much you can do. If you have kids that will be a whole can of worms you need a lawyer for but you are almost certainly owed some sort of access or even mayby joint custody which could involve financial suport. I'm assuming that's not the case.

Basicly you are being made involenteraly homeless. So you need to speak to your local council about social housing. Check your local councills website for the phone number and ring them up. this website can help you work out who to ring https://www.gov.uk/homelessness-help-from-council

Hi again Joanne - I'm so sorry to hear this.

I'd definitely suggest persevering with Citizens Advice.

There's also lots of helpful information about getting help with housing on the Shelter website:

The NAS also has some advice that might be helpful:

Hi Joanne

I am really sorry you’re in this position. Have you thought about using services for neurodivergent people for advice? I have not checked but I wonder if somewhere like Sunshine Support offer advice? I was going to try them for providing advocacy services for an EHCP for my son but they may cover many more areas for people to access. It is worth checking out I guess and if they don’t there may be others out there. They are online and in the Derbyshire area.
