    This probably isn't the forum for this question but here goes - the community welfare officers can give you guidelines on income limits and that but it works case by case depending on circumstances. Go to whoever covers your current area and ask.

    The CWO in your new area will soon tell you. You will have to be on the local authority housing list. Good luck.

    The CWO wont be able to work out whether or not your entitled to rent allowance until you are assesed as in need of housing and you return the completed rent allowance form to him/her.
