    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me, so confused :(
    I'm a BTEA student, going into my 2nd year of a course. I cant afford the travelling costs anymore, so I'm hoping to move up close to the college. Can anyone tell me, do I have to be living in the accommodation 6months before I can be eligible, or am I entitled simply because I'm on BTEA?
    Anything at all would be helpful, I'm terribly confused!

    Maybe ask on the State Benefits forum?

    Or visit the Citizens Info or see your local CWO.. or all three..;)

    Basically to qualify for RA you have to have been renting privately anywhere fos six months., or be on the Council Housing list
