Hospital/GP/Housing Advice?

oldngrumpy

I want to see my Doctor, but for a specific date-Feb next year.

But I cannot even get an appointment not now or for next year.

I have been having problems with the neighbours (I have asked on the forum for advice on this) but also the H.A.

For over thirty years I have been, bullied and harrased by neighbours and H.A.

A friend told me to go to the Council with my problem re: neighbours and H.A. I did this a few weeks ago. 

The years of abuse and bullying stopped literally within days. 

Oh heaven...

But although it's going to be painful with Arthritis in my body,

I now think it's time for a move.

I mentioned this to another friend a few days ago. The reply was Good Luck with That. The chronic housing shortage I am presuming. I am being referred to Adult Learning Disabilities, but I have asked for this mid Feb 2024. I do have my reasons for this. But as the state of politics in this country I am probably going to have to wait even longer.

Right to the point....

I want to move from where I live. And I am hoping a Social Worker may be able to help. I've never had one in forty odd years of struggling.

Would it be better to wait till my hopeful appointment around February at the Learning Disabilities appointment or should I have a discussion with a G.P on the above? That's if I can get an appointment.

Folks I need advice please on the Social Worker, Housing and if a Dr can help in anyway?

Thank you all.

For my GP i wouldn't be able to book an appointment that far in advance, i don't know if all GPs are the same.

You're better off referring yourself for a needs assessment from your local Authority. An Occupational Therapist will then come out and do an assessment in your home. If the reason for wanting to move is because your home is no longer suitable for your needs then they may look at adaptions first before recommending a house move.
