could someone tell me the real truth

Years ago, when a relationship broke up, it was easy to get housing benefits. I lived in a small town and just used to go to the council office; they would also sort out supplementary benefits too.
Now I know sensibly I need to go now, but I am terrified. I have no money. I am on PIP, but I am 61 with multiple problems, so I cannot work, but I am assuming I need universal credit, which is the devil's own job to get. As a couple, we tried. Also, we had to run around all over the place, and I do not drive.
i am also guessing i would also need a deposit, and i do not have money of own.I think i cannot see a place out of this i am stuck here until i die

That does sound tricky, but not insurmountable. If you're on pip, you will probably also qualify for 'lower capability for work and work related activities', which is a category of universal credit where your not expected to look for work. The process of applying is pretty tough, but no worse then pip. If you think you could finish on well enough terms, you could end the relationship but still house share until your benefits claim is sorted.

A private rental will require a deposit, but might be worth checking if your council has a deposit guarantee scheme. Alternatively, if you are no longer able to live with ex-to be, you could present to your council as homeless, though depending on availability, you might end up a hostel or bedsit for some time. Maybe ask about over 55's/ over 60's accommodation? In some areas the waiting list for that type of flat is much shorter then the general housing list.
