    Have you spoken with a local advice agency?

    Hi Dan Marsh ☺️ I've just joined myself. I would go onto you tube and ask the same question and how to aquire a property suited to your needs. Get all the medical evidence you can. GP's Consultants, ring Shelter Cymry or Shelter if you aren't in Wales. Pop along to CITIZENS Advice they will have the answers for you. Every letter , every diagnosis, social , health issues, over occupied living conditions, so many you can pop to the CAB. Ring your nearest ASAP. Each bit of evidence you can gather will give you points. And that's how you'll get your own property. You ask the CAB about how to go about applying for a free grant to get essential white goods. Washing machine, fridge freezer, cooker and you may qualify for a tumble drier too. Good luck in your search 👍

    Hi @Danmarsh, you might like to try contacting your MP on this if the council just aren't budging. They may be able to help support your case:
