    Hi @jilly1961 welcome to the forum. 
    Sounds like you need to move soon really, can't be easy not being able to get out without being caried. Have you seen an occupational therapist? 
    They may be able to assess your situation and liase with the council

    Hello @jilly1961

    I'm so sorry to hear you are finding it difficult to get help. Scope have an information page on Getting more suitable accommodation, with links to other organisations who may be able to advise. Shelter in particular have some specialist housing advice.
