We expect clients to be entitled to Housing Benefit and to ESA or Incapacity Benefit which will normally cover the above costs. If clients are not entitled to benefits they will need to find private funding or other statutory funding to cover these costs.
Each client also needs some money for personal spending each week, which again normally comes out of their Incapacity Benefit/Income Support or Employment Support Allowance.

Waiting List
If there are no beds available we will put an assessed client on the waiting list or refer them to another project and tell them to ring in at agreed intervals to support them until a bed becomes available. If there is more than one person on the waiting list the first vacancy will be allocated to the person who is the most vulnerable and meets the above criteria best.
