T, a single man who is living alone, is unable to. work because of mental health issues, following an accident, and has a support worker. He recently had to move house because of a breakdown in the relationship between him and the home provider. The new place has a double bed frame, but no mattress and T cannot afford to buy one as his Employment and Support Allowance and Personal Independence Payment have been stopped for re-assessment due to his move. This could take up to twenty weeks to be re-instated and meanwhile, T is sleeping on the floor.
