Sorry if this is wrong section.
I am autistic and also have dyspraxia and depression and anxiety(go hand in hand to be honest)
I live in a good flat which is very bad maintained to the point the ceiling is ready to collapse, no plaster in bathroom, every kitchen cupboard broken, no heating in bedroom or hall for 2 years, no communal lighting so need a torch and many people have fallen, drug dealer neighbour, constant postal thefts etc.
Was at welfare rights earlier to get help with DLA application and they mentioned I would be entitled to a council house. Then went to a local church that gives meals to people and they have social workers and the social worker whom I talked to before said I should make myself intentionally homeless to get a council house! I did not like the idea of this as it feels dishonest but need to move, she also said even if I find somewhere else on own to use my deposit as final months rent as my landlord will try and keep it.
What do people on here think?
