Thank you all for your replies. I have been to Age UK, they won't answer housing queries, they sent us to CAB, the lady there got the wrong end of the stick and told us there was an 8 year wait for council housing, which isn't what we're after. Anyway, we're viewing a couple of places today, and hope to get the ball rolling. It's all very confusing. Especially when I've entered the figures into three different benefit calculators and they all come up with something different.....
Hopefully, it will all work out.
Thanks again.
