*I live in a housing association 2 B/R flat with a secure tenancy (since 1986). *I am on Pension Credit and so in receipt of full HB. Ism 75 but fit and active. My current H A tell that they can only put me on a sheltered accom waiting list if I want to move.
I want move to be nearer my grandchildren so I can take them to school, etc. * My son in law is willing to purchase a buy to let property *in the area for me to occupy. - a 2 B/R flat which he is willing to rent to me at normal commercial rent. *He thus would avoid voids *(as he puts it) between shorthold lets. *I will be Tenant for Life or possibly on an Assured Tenancy (not shorthold).
The rent will be abt £700 pm, £300 more than I now pay. *This in not a "contrived tenancy" but an arrangement that suits me and my daughter and son in law.
Question: Will I still get HB? This will free up social housing an aim of the govt, I suppose
Thanks
Gordon
