OT assessment, can I fight this?

Hi i have had an ot assessment done back in February where they decided that I couldn't have adaptions done as would cost over the grant I would get. Our shed is connected to neighbours shed so they would have to repair his. I think they are making excuses. Anyway I have to move but we need a 3 bed bungalow or a 3 bed house with dining room and downstairs toilet. The other option was a 2 bed house with dining room and downstairs toilet. Well where I am there is no 3 bed bungalows. There is also no properties that are suitable for me. Im happy where I live ive lived here for 5 years now. Can i fight this as they wont give me a stair lift either my health is detoriating to the point I have to sleep downstairs most nights. I have a commode but hate using it. They want me to have independence but are making me move out of my home of 5 years any advice would be great xx

Im not trying yo be harsh but I think you need to think of your needs rather than your wishes and that you may have to make compromises to make your daily living a bit easier.
Surely it would be better that you can go to the toilet in a bathroom and have your own bedroom rather than maybe a dining room.
Unfortunately there are not too many bungalows around with 3 bedrooms and dining room, there will be some but maybe more in the private market or private rent
