You are right to not simply walk out of your current housing with nowhere new lined up as it is correct that the council could see that as making yourself intentionally homeless even if you have reasons that the environment isn’t right for you there. Although everything takes time it’s always best to do things through the correct channels. Perhaps if you request a needs assessment then they can see what help you need and also may be able to get someone to assist in getting you rehoused if they see that your housing situation is not good for your needs.

@surfygoose Thank you
 i do not see any chance from my perspective that i can feel any better at this place and at this borough its a huge burnout for me 
and people don’t respect each other 

Agnia

i was discharged after 4 sessions from NHS therapy this situation gave me more anxiety and i gave up about my situation 
i felt really hopeless 
my mother in Poland when i was begging her that i need to come to be with them ( i had money for food for contribution for electricity for a doctors as well). she was saying that i have to do everything here in England , i was begging to get a chance , too many things happened at the same time and was not possible for me to cope with them on my own and being at the place where i stay 
my neighbour was drinking alkohol was very noisy i was scared

@Agnia
Im sorry to read that things are still the same with you, but only way to get any help is to request the need’s assessment this has been suggested for months now. 

I really hope you do that  and things can hopefully get better for you. 

Take care.

I'm sure it was first advised back in January and many times since then. If it had been done at the start then an assessment could have already been done now and help on it's way.

Agnia, why won't you refer yourself for the needs assessment? I realise English isn't your first language but you type very well in English and i understand you perfectly well.

Here's the link for the needs assessment again, which you really should look at. It's the only way you're going to get any sort of help. https://www.gov.uk/apply-needs-assessment-social-services

Thank you i was writing the postcode and after  got information that the page not found , i was trying to call council today 
my anxiety is really high and does affect me very much 
i don’t know how does it work if someone is not able to go on second floor how does it work by law  
the reason im so scared because family member also does mention about the care home in the past 
 i did read some reviews about mental hospitals that some people did refuse to eat their meals there because they felt isolated missed their relatives and the psyche is a very fragile and  their psyche couldn’t handle a change loneliness isolation 
i remember one lady she couldn’t understand that for me was very difficult to read my energy meters and i couldn’t do it ,i was experiencing brain fog  i was giving a lot of attention and energy for my work and ended to be unable to do the simple things 
im scared to live here it’s really affecting my health even if someone will come from the council it’s really hard to move 

Agnia

many factors influence the state of the human psyche it’s really important

Hi i was calling council at the borough where i currently live this gentleman who answered my call was explaining that the carer from this borough will not help me with any domestic tasks like cleaning shopping cooking helping to prepare a meals    

poppy123456

I'm not sure about housework (cleaning) but they can certainly help with things like cooking/preparing meals and shopping. You will need to have a needs assessment first before this happens.

Agnia

this gentleman who answered the phone call he was saying that the carer from council  will help with dressing and washing only 
if i don’t get pip or Lwcra how can i have any money for private help its very expensive im very scared helpless and broken 

Agnia

i was asking him about the care assessment he said that they don’t help with domestic task such as cleaning shopping helping to prepare a meals 

Agnia

i was reaching council adult social services about care assessment 

Agnia

i called the council at the borough where i currently live the social prescriber did write this number for me to call the team who is responsible for adult social services and to help for people who are not coping with basic needs and is entailed for an assessment from adult social services 

poppy123456

I do know for a fact that they can help with things like shopping, cooking and preparing meals. If it's determined that help can be given, you'll have a financial assessment as well, this will then determine how much you'll need to pay for any help they give. They will also pay a contribution towards your support and this can be paid as a direct payment. There's some information here regarding this. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/wales/family/looking-after-people/direct-payments-w/direct-payments-what-are-they-w/

Agnia

i was calling council today i was asking twice to be sure if i reached correct council this gentleman confirmed that 
im having really high anxiety 

Agnia

he said that i can spend pip money for private help 
what will be if i do not get pip 

Agnia

i really don’t know how to afford to move from here and to pay for a private help carer and can help with cleaning it’s re expensive everything im feeling really stupid now and that im asking silly questions 
london is for strong people 

poppy123456

The person you spoke to isn't correct when they told you that no support can be given for shopping and preparing/cooking your food. My daughter used to have a support worker (carer) who always supported her for those things. It was in her care plan. I also know of others that also receive support like that.

Of course it's not guaranteed but you won't know if support can be given unless you have the needs assessment to start with.

I don't think any question is silly if you don't know the answer.

Agnia

Thank you for response 
i would like to confirm please that i have found my council borough homepage about the care assessment and this information  that 

if i should feel that the care assessment would be suitable for me then i can either :
complete a care assessment form or call the referral Center for the number i was reaching today and got this information that their carer from my local council don’t do any cleaning shopping helping with meals 

poppy123456

I can only give advice based on my personal experience and from others that i know. They will give support for shopping and cooking/perparing meals. For cleaning, you may have to pay for that yourself.
