Your responsibilities
You will need to use your own money to pay your own rent and bills. This might be from a job, receiving benefits or a bit of both.
Do not ignore official looking letters, they could be important.
How to get help
Ask your social worker or personal adviser for help understanding your bills like:
- rent
- electricity
- water
There is also a dedicated benefits adviser in the Leaving and After Care service. To speak to the benefits adviser, contact the Leaving and After Care Team.
