Would PIP award help me be allocated a more accessible house?

I am currently living in a private rented house with stairs that I find very hard. I use a walker and walking stick and have a partner who works all the hours god sends and then constantly worries about me during the day, I have fibromyalgia degenerative dics in my back diabetes, mental health, PTSD,
My question is now now I have been recognised by PIP for my disabilities does this now mean I may be able to acquire my name on housing lists and if so would my circumstances of health give me anymore 'points' to get a property?
i just can't cope with stairs anymore and we would prefer to have lower rent as private seems to be more which is hindering my partner to look after me (and keep himself from having a heart attack) any comments would be most helpful x

Thank you for joining and sharing.
I am one of the team of community champions who advise and help new members who join.
I do not know the answer to your question. One suggestion is to speak to CAB or your local council housing officer.
I hope that helps.
Please ask if we can advise and help some one will know. From our community or a member of our team.
Please take care.
