    Hello @RiaW

    Welcome to the community! :) I'm so sorry to hear that you've been so poorly.

    I would encourage you to apply for a needs assessment, this could lead your local authority to identify further support needed for you. This could include healthcare needs and adaptations to your home. If you need to move because you need something that cannot be adapted, for example a ground floor level property, I would reach out to your local council or housing authority.
