I’m currently on the council waiting list and will have been on the list 3 years this December 
I’m in band C 
now I’ve had change to health 
first do I report this 
im living 4 floors up with no lift 
and it restricts me going out 
my heart failure is the main reason 
im wanting ground floor and in the over 55 years section 
will this give me more priority 
thanks

    Thanks 

    yes I have a very supportive doctor and heart failure nurse 
    the housing have sent me a health and welfare form to return 
    then this goes before the panel for a decision 
    there is a 3 month backlog I’m told 
    when I am having a bad day which are many I’m unable to use the stairs so I’m housebound 
    my discharge from hospital was delayed due to the stairs 
    I can’t carry shopping up or rubbish bags down to the bin area my life is not my own as it’s limiting what I can achieve 
    I didn’t no if there was an obligation to place me in band B with health problems 
    thanks for reply
