Housing priority questionnaire

I realise this isn't strictly benefits & work but wanted to point out what a minefield this stuff is after 20 years on the social housing list I was removed without notice as I'm suitably housed. This is despite years of trying to use a system that didn't work properly.
Now I know I'm fortunate that I do have a home ( thank the good lord) but I'm struggling die to medical reasons in the home I'm in. It's private rent ( a very low private rent) & to downsize privately my rent would go up a great deal.
So after 2 years of being told my consultant has to complete my medical questionnaire, I've been advised today that I can do it but must provide a consultant supporting letter ( not gp)
So having printed the 8 page document it's quite a doozy & wondered if anyone had any experience of doing this, as I'm totally lost regarding it!
Any help is appreciated or a point in the right direction thanks in advance.

Hi Marvel2017

Thank you for your question, unfortunately it is outside the scope of the forum.

You need to contact Shelter's advice line: 0808 800 4444; www.shelter.org.uk

Morning. You can get housing help if you have a medical need for rehousing. You should contact ‘Housing Advice’ and have a chat with them. They do not count economics as a priority. Mention that you were previously on the housing list.

Personally I would research Social Housing in the areas that you want to live. The Council have a list, but some Housing Associations have their own lists too. Apply to ALL of the ones that are suitable. If they are near relatives/ friends mention these on your application also. Say you need to be close for support.

*Make sure you make many photocopies of your Consultant’s letter and include with all applications*. Shelter have a helpline if you need any help. A ‘short wait’ is 12 months.
