ESA when homeless was created by Dole
I am facing the possibility of eviction. If such happens I intend to live "on the street". I am presently in the SG. How would I keep in touch with DWP and keep my benefits intact? If anyone has/is already living this lifestyle your advice would be appreciated

You can nominate a friend or relatives address and I think under extreme circumstances you local JC+ but I am less sure of the latter.

If you are likely to be evicted then have a look at the Shelter page for information about your options.

Hi E,

Just to add to Gordon's advice,

There is further information on receiving benefits whilst homeless under the heading :

Right to claim benefits

Just over half way down : This Shelter Page.

Elod, I'm very sorry to hear of your situation. I endorse the advise to contact 'Shelter' and I believe your council should also have s 'homelessness officer' or similar.

I do hope you are able to get this sorted.
