Re: Re: Absurd Council 'Thinking'
by batsgirl
too damn right. I developed severe mobility problems when I became disabled - severe enough for me to be given the "high rate mobility" part of Disability Living Allowance (once my forms had been lost a couple of times, naturally). I'm on the council list for a ground floor flat, but as I'm not homeless - I live in the first floor flat I started privately renting when I was fit, well and working - I'm nowhere near a rehousing priority. And even if I was, I wouldn't be priority for ground-floor - that goes to teenage mums who get their parents to sign a bit of paper saying they're being kicked out, because apparently you can't manage with a baby and stairs. I also can't get the mobility scooter or powered wheelchair I'm entitled to, that would make my life infinitely easier and more independent, because where I am living at the moment there is nowhere to store it...
