My name is Karen and it’s time I introduced myself. I have back and hip problems since I was 18, about 5 years ago after multiple tests I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and now need a wheelchair to go outside which has made me housebound as my doorway is not disability friendly and I need my son to set up my ramp. I was wondering if there’s anyway I can get help with getting a bungalow., I live in social housing and the door opens onto a footpath so I can’t have a ramp built for me. I really need my independence as it has made my depression and social anxiety get worse too. My brain fog means this might not make sense so I apologise if it doesn’t. I am waiting to get an advocate but I’m on a waiting list.

I'd advise you to contact your social housing landlord. Some areas require a minmum age to be entitled to a bungalow so if this applies to your area then it will depend on your age, whether you can be rehoused in a bungalow.You can also refer yourself for a needs assessment from your local Authority, if you haven't already. https://www.gov.uk/apply-needs-assessment-social-services
