Hi I was wondering if anyone can help because Im getting really worried!
I have been told by my advisor at the job centre that the government are changing housing benefit for people under 35 so they wont pay for people to have their own flats but only a room in a shared house. It this true and if so when is it happening? Will it apply to people who already are in their own flats?
These has got me worried as im only 23 and have been in my flat for just over 2 years. I really dont want to move and I have too much stuff to fit in to one room! And Ive spent a lot of money on carpets, curtains washing machine, fridge etc. Also the rent on my flat is not that much, the rent on rooms in a shared house are similar, sometimes more.
