If you're a non-UK national you may well still be able to claim benefits once you arrive in the UK.
The Directgov website has loads of useful information on benefits including disability benefits and housing benefits.
You may also want to try the entitledto website which has a benefits calculator.
Hope those links are useful, sorry not to be able to give you a straight yes or no answer. As i'm sure you're probably aware, there's always so many different variables when it comes to claiming benefits that depend on your individual circumstances.
Good luck with the move!
