Have you moved across the country while reliant on government help? I think I need to...

RJB

Hello Wave

I just turned 40. I have autism and related difficulties. I rely on PIP, UC, Council tax support etc. I have no savings. I want/need to move out of Grimsby. I know leaving the town won't be a miracle solution to everything, but this place has been grinding me down so much over these four decades.

I want to go to a place close to but not necessarily in a city. Somewhere quiet but with connections and such. Somewhere in the Calder valley sticks out. Thing is, places like hebden bridge look like rent and waiting lists will be sky high, and I imagine they're more private rented than social housing. (I'd prefer the latter for security/piece of mind).

Long story short, my circumstances make me feel trapped here. Has anybody successfully done similarly to what I want? I don't necessarily need specific instructions right now but some success stories would build up my delicate confidence and optimism. :)

Thanks for reading.

  • Hello, i did the reverse, i moved from Dorset to Grimsby, but it was to be with my partner. Did that 11 years ago. Funnily enough, Dorset was making me feel the same way. I went back a few years after moving up here to visit some friends, couldn’t wait to get back up here. Despite it having loads of bad memories, i had some happier times too, and some of the places i used to go i do actually miss, Weymouth & Portland being the main ones. On the flipside, i’ve achieved a lot of personal success since moving…becoming a dad, and buying our own house. Moving can definitely make you feel better if the area is dragging you down, which in turn can create more positive actions. So yeah, moving was the best thing i did, and i don’t regret it.
