Hi Mary

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum.

Your question is outside the remit of the forum but |I will try and give you a few pointers.

You will need to contact your local Welfare Rights Organisation: advicelocal.uk, Shelter may also give you advice england.shelter.org.uk/get_help

The first question you will be asked, 1) did you claim any housing element on your current property, 2) did you receive rent for the Lancashire property?
