Hi again. I've just had a quick look and if you google dss properties poole it will give you a list of agencies etc advertising rooms and properties in your area that accept housing benefit. I hope this helps and let us know if you manage to find a place. Hopefully a really nice one! The mencap helpline is open again on monday 9-3 the number 0808 808 1111 they may have other suggestions to help you. Good luck.
