After a breakup I became homeless from September and i was sofa surfing till December.

Moved into my flat in December 15th. Handed in my application for housing benefit December 16th as i am unemployed I am entitled .

Waited a month while paying my rent, then rang them to ask about my application where they said "I don't have anything about your claim, so it probably hasn't been processed".

Okay.



I Phone them up 3rd February. "We don't have your application, please send in another form and we will try to backdate it". I hand in my 2nd application form 3rd February (Ok getting worried now it will take another 4 weeks and i still managing to pay my rent out of the money Job seekers says i should be buying food with.)

3 weeks 2 days later, I get a letter saying i will only get housing benefit backdated to 3rd February as they have no account of my previous application. Disputed my case, and the decision maker said i should of had a receipt for the 1st one when i handed it in, I didn't get one, so he was unable to help me one bit (so 3 and a half months rent that i didn't get back).

3 months on, I have debt collectors coming for laptop tv and my mobile phone Later on today, Suffering from depression and anxiety attacks all thanks to the Wiltshire council .

Thank you Wiltshire council for loosing my application and not doing your job right!
