If your scottish would you get housing benefit in London?
Probably a stupid questions but you never now.
Say i had enough money to pay a deposit and 1 months rent on some flat in London – also i have no job at this moment so the chances of finding a flat are slim i know – but if you then applied for housing benefit would you be accepted?

As its all part of the UK you can apply for Benefits anywhere, whether you get them or not will not be dependant on the fact your not English.

The whole of the UK run on the same benefit system, it doesn’t matter where you originally come from it only matters where your going to be living. Remember though, London is one of the most expensive cities to live in. Housing benefit is unlikely to cover anything more then a studio flat or small 1 bedroom and if your under 25 they will only pay for a room in a shared house or a bedsit. If your unemployed I presume your going to be on JSA? IS JSA going to cover your other living costs? Everything is more expensive in London then elsewhere, and jobs are very scarce with a lot of graduates moving to London hoping to get a job in a big store or office. Have you thought about the extra cost of living in London?
