Once again thanks for this information. Very informative. And I will take a look on the sites you have attached.

Thank-you for this information. This helps a lot and told me a lot I did not know. I appreciate the help. So Can I also ask then as you mentioned it before. If it were the case I was to be "sofa surfing" on a boat and not a case of renting. Would that make any difference. Just asking now as I'm intrigued.

OK so is there a way of making it a legal rental. Is there a way I can do it without affecting my benefits. As this current stage I'm also struggling to find employment after being signed off sick for an extended period of time. What if I am able to become the owner of the license as a continuous traveller. Would that then give me any legal right. And is that possible to do. Or would ownership of the oat be needed. I'm asking all these questions as I'm close to being homeless and I'm trying to explore my options to prevent any further harm. Local authorities are not being much help when it comes to my housing situation

Hi it wouldn't be sofa surfing I would be looking to rent the boat as a living space. Its not currently being resided on but the license is for a continuous traveller. And is moved by the owner of the license in the required amount of time. It is somebody that I personally know. And they own the boat. And have offered me an opportunity to rent it from them for a period. I have been trying to gather information into regards of this online. But it's rather confusing. Benefits for boaters I will give it a search. I did think I heard of a similar group before

I have a question regarding living on a boat and claiming Universal credit. I have recently unfortunately had a relationship breakdown where I was living with my ex partner and since splitting have found it difficult to find affordable housing. The option may be there for me to reside on a boat for a period of time. I'm currently claiming Universal credit and was wondering if anyone can give me any advice or information as to what fees are eligible to be paid. The Boat is not morred at a private mooring and the owner has a continuous traveller licence.
