Need advocacy support 😔😩
 Long story short…. A Local council housed me in unsuitable accommodation ( short private rented sector) . they were aware of my disabilities as it was all documented down.. the case worker on my case didn’t do anything to help me.
I complained and sent evidence of me seeking for a review of suitability for months..
 they then agreed….( after they ignored my requests for the first review and rejected it without me knowing )Â
Deadline is 18th April 2022.. for me to send medical documents, statements from third parties / organisations, advocates and my own statements etc……
it’s overwhelming..
I even had to ask landlord to put handrailing in the property because there wasn’t any.Â
Any support or advice in any way I will appreciate and be so so grateful,
 thank you
