To be so confused about benefits post separation

Is anyone able to help me re: benefits? Sadly my husband and I are separating. We jointly own a home which is up for sale but I need to move into rented until it’s sold. Viewed something this morning which I’d like to proceed with. I’ve done a benefits calculator based on me living in the rented place and having equity in this house still and it all looks achievable but can I apply before I’ve officially moved out of my owned home? Do I need a letting agreement? Any advice welcome.

I assume you're asking about UC? If you want help with your housing costs yes, you will need a copy of your tenancy agreement which confirms how much rent you pay and how often.

Yes UC sorry this is all completely new to me. I’m scared to sign up to a tenancy I can’t afford on my wages, based on something the online calculator has told me if that makes sense!
