Housing Advice
Hello, I wrote in the Journal two days ago. I am being evicted, every month I have a court hearing ""my life is a huge stress"" The housing advice and the GP came up with this together because not all my illnesses have been diagnosed (then they don't even exist) I have become completely deaf in one ear, the GP has not allowed a clinical ear examination for a year and a half, so the housing advice took away my opportunity to live in council housing and ordered me to rent privately. I wrote a lot to the UC, I was nervous, I was afraid, I asked for their help. But they usually didn't respond, they didn't give any help at all. I wrote again two days ago because the housing advice found me a private rental property and they told me to go and look at it, but the letter was full of threats if you don't do this ""you'll lose the council's help"" if you don't do that......"" I went to the address, but the address given wasn't the one I had to go to, the owner said ""don't be angry I'm really sorry, please don't tell anyone"" The nearest bus stop is 5-10 km away, I can't say that because then no one will come here, and the building is inside a forest, there is no road, no pavement, you can get around on a forest path. I'm talking about a single room, about 4-5sqm + 1sqm bathroom, that's £1100. But now the ice has broken, I wrote to UC, I described everything and imagine if they help. They said there are times when this option can be rejected (don't think so, it's not easy and housing advice doesn't "play fair"" but if you can justify the rejection with serious facts, "" MUST ACCEPT IT! Is it worth believing in miracles?" - Esther
