@Debbie_Scope would probably be the best person to offer advice, though she probably won't be around until Monday.
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change!

I know the problems you are haveing with breathing, just came out of hospital my self this week.
You will probably need trained f2f advice from CAB or similar, but please ring the Scope help line on monday, they may be able to offer better advice

@Debbie_Scope is there any support you can offer?

I'm so sorry for the late reply. .
This sounds very complicated. You mention that you were conned out of your disability home because of your vulnerability. Are you able to tell me more about what happened.
It seems unusual that your housing association would not consider you for a management move/transfer on health grounds and tell you your only option is to exchange. Is this linked to what happened when you lost your last home?
I think you need to get some advice from Shelter or your local CAB but I'm happy to try and provide further information if I can find out a bit more about what has happened. There's potential for a 'homeless application' but before you consider this, you really need to get some advice. The homeless route is a difficult one and not very pleasant. We need to see if there are any solutions with your current situation.
Are you in contact with your Adult Social Care department?
Hope to hear from you again.
Best wishes
Debbie
In the meantime you could certainly get an Occupational Therapy assessment of your current property and it's unsuitability which ought to help you. Do make sure that if and when you are in a position to move you make sure that you will be able to cope there.
