Does anyone have much experience about applying for social housing?
DF is in 70's and been living in a mobile home for years but his health is failing him and wants to apply for a social housing flat. He has about £25k savings but some of that has been saved for a new (used) car that he needs, his is v old, too big and knackered.
Would he be better off getting his car sorted first, before applying? I think if his savings were below the threshold he would get some housing benefit but not sure how it works if he applies, then buys a new car and that sends his savings below the limit.
