Social Housing Eligibility

Hi all,

I posted yesterday regarding being offered relocation assistance by my local authority after being subjected to quite severe disability harassment (amongst many other issues).

Owing to my disabilities I require certain specifications in any new home but have been advised that ‘by law I am only entitled to a certain property’ which does not fit my medical requirements (Please note these requirements have been set out by my doctors/social workers etc.).

Can anyone advise where I stand legally with this?

    Hi 

    I am sorry to hear this I would suggest to get professional legal advice 
    You may get some advice from either CAB , welfare rights or shelter 

    Hope this helps

    Yeah seek pro legal advice, if you can I would sue the local Authority under the 2010 Equality Act for not accommodating your disabilities.
