I live in a flat on my own and have been claiming housing benefit for a few months. They sent me a letter saying someone from the housing is coming round to pay a visit. Why do they do this? Does this mean I am about to lose my housing? Also, what happens when they come round? Do they go in every room or is it just a chat?
