    Yes you can. Have you got a job? If so, you just need to send a letter from your job saying you aren't getting paid along with your rent allowance application form.
    Get in contact with your CWO.

    Just so you know, under new guidelines, your landlord will have to provide his Tax Reference Number in order for you to receive rent allowance. Not that your landlord wouldnt be registered for tax purpose, but there is some out there that would not be.
