Housing problems

Applied to be rehoused by council last year as my current flat also owned by the council is not suitable for my health, when l was discharged from hospital was given equipments to help me with my daily living and they also gave me letters to give to the council as support to be rehoused, l provided this to council and they requested me to be seen by their own OT who however assessed me after longtime waiting due to their backlog, OT said l qualify for a standard housing that was in july this year when l called council they told me my case was closed, I was HURT, to think I have waited for that long and struggling to live in my current accommodation and told l dont qualify to be rehoused was a blow to me. Anyway to cut it short i email our local MP, and they adviced me to write a complaint to council and today council reply to me that I dont qualify again and that I need to do another application. I feel sad, hated this illness feeling discrimitated , not listened etc..

    Hello Mem,

    I am so sorry that you have been unsuccessful in  getting rehoused. There might be some help to be had if you return to your GP, stating that you have done as they advised and sent in a complaint to Council. Send a copy of Council's reply and ask if your MP can do any more to help.

    Kind regards,
