I got housing benefits because I didn't have full pension and had very little cash in the bank.

How were you able to get housing benefit in your family home peaches? confused
But to answer your question I suggest you talk to CAB, they are very good on these issues.

I have sold my family home and am moving into privately owned sheltered accommodation. The rental is fairly high but with the money I get for the sale of my house I should be fine for a few years. I am at present on benefit with pension credit, housing benefit etc. but this of course will stop when I move. My question is - if and when I run out of money in my new sheltered flat, will I then be able to return to receiving benefit.

I should add that the flat is in a totally different area from where I live now.

Many thanks for any advice
