There's a shortage of disabled properties right accross the country, all you can do is keep bidding. I'm afraid you will not be given extra bedrooms for your children because they don't live with you. You maybe able to bid on them but if you have spare bedrooms then you'll need to pay bedroom tax.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Welcome to the community @tee8386
I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling to find suitable housing. There's unfortunately a real shortage of accessible housing, so you're not the only one who's experiencing this!
Have you had a look into Habinteg? They're an accessible housing association.
I'm also wondering whether you've looked into options for making a property more accessible? We have a page on our website about getting home adaptations.
