Out of area temporary accommodation. Who would do the OT assessment?

If I am placed in temporary accommodation in another council area who does the OT assessment if my health changes and I am less able to walk? The council area I live in now says it is the responsibility of the council that placed me here. Is that right?

Hi there
I'm not sure as it's temporary I presume you are still registered to the council that put you in temporary housing -
Hi @SueLBTH
To be honest, I'm not sure. Have you spoken to the council that placed you in this temporary accommodation to confirm what the council in your current area said with them?
