Don't forget getting a bed in a hostel is reliant on the hostel claiming housing benefit to pay for it. If your sanctioned then you can kiss that one goodbye.or you might not have any claim started cause you move around. Got no I.d. haven't got a bank account. Got a massive drink/drug problem so you can't keep appointments. It's a pretty shifty choice to choose to sleep out. Made by desperate people. Not exactly a laugh.
