    How long does rent allowance take to come through? What are you supposed to do while you are waiting?

    When you apply for a housing need to your local authority once you have all the relevant forms it takes 2 weeks to get a letter from them to give to your health board to start your application with them.. Mine took about a month from the health board + the 2 weeks waiting for the letter off the local authority..

    Seen as your are suppose to be renting for 6 months before you can apply for the need of a supplement you should have applied for a housing need already, whats an extra month if you've already survived 6 without it..

    Granted people can get stuck so talk to your local health officer and they will be able to point you out to the relevant hostels/homeless shelters while you wait ..
