    Hi,
    Thanks for any help in advance.My problem is i was intending to go to college this year,got my house sorted deposit paid,then i was refused entry into college.I decided to stay here in galway and look for work as i had no where else to live and no money.After six weeks I havnt found work , I borrowed 400 euro for last months rent of a money lender(not a good idea ,I know).Today i decided to go to my local C.W.O. I was refused rent allowance because my rent was above the threshold, I was receiving rent allowance in castlebar previously that was above the threshold(they just gave me 52 euro i had to pay73 euro myself). I dont know what to do know.Would appealling the decision make any differance,There is no way the landlord will lower rent.Could i say that my flatmate is paying more than me,which would bring me bellow the threshold.dont know what to do ,will be homeless in 2 weeks.please help
