Tried this on House Buying, Renting section but no joy so hoping I may het some help on this board:-
Bear with me & I will try and keep this short.
Most rental agents/landlords say they want an annual income at least 30 times the monthly rent. So in my case this translates into a monthly rental payment of £700.
Me & my wife are both on state pension.
I am on DLA on a PM equivalent of £458
I get HB/CTB which is enhanced by the fact I get DLA
So my question is if I were to want to rent at say £850 PM (I wish to move closer to my family who are over 4 hours away but in a much more expensive rental area) would I still come under the NO HB/CTB claimers or because I have a fairly sound income, including state pension & the DLA would a more sympathetic view be taken?
I really could use some help as my health us getting worse and I do need to have more support from my family who are too far away to react/get to us very quickly.
