Pregnant and need to relocate!

3 replies

Hey.

About 2 years ago, I moved from Slough, Berkshire to Warminster, Wiltshire. I left all my family behind and don't have anyone around me here besides the person I live with.

Basically, I recently found out I'm pregnant and I really need to move back to my family (Slough) to help me with this. I'm disabled and I'm currently in receipt of PIP and Universal credit.

Am I able to get any help in relocating? The property I currently live in is rented, and the fixed contract has now ended and onto a rolling contract.
What can I do? I don't have any money saved up and I really don't have much spare but I don't know how to cope with a baby and my disabilities away from my family and friends.

Thank you.

Ask the person you currently live with to pay for to go back to Slough

Ask your family

The person I live with is in a similar position as me, they're disabled and on benefits. My family also aren't well off at all.
I was just wondering if there's anything the council/shelters could help with in relocating me.

Looking at Sloughs housing website you need to have lived in the area in the last 5 years to qualify for social housing but you may find you qualify under other reasons this is their website if you haven't already seen it
