Not sure where to put this as there is no council house option or housing just mortgages and renting.
I am single lady expecting first baby in 4 weeks. I am at home in 3 bedroom with mum and 28 year old brother who suffers from paranoid schizophrenic. AM in the little room and am staying in that room when baby comes too. My mum will allow me to stay for a little while to help with baby etc. My brother is on meds and working so at moment he is fine only thing is he is very selfish and gets moody so we have to tread carefully with him. He smokes all aorund the with no consideration he has been like this my whole pregnancy even though he knows the smoke drifts into my room.
Today I got my letter from council, the council do not offically know my brother has a severe mental where in the past we had him sectioned for schizophrenia for threatening to kill us when he is bad he is bad. But I am lowest band D, and only entitled to one bed when I know people who were offered one nbed being single, and Polish people who got something nice straight away. not picking but unfair system. I have always worked, now my hours are cut and I only earn 700 so renting is out of the question. I wish I could buy but I can't.
I am so depressed, been left by my ex and now council are doing this? Can I appeal? I will write and explain my brothers condition too. I am not having baby to be given free house. I have always worked and lived away paying rent and livign with ex but it did not work and I lost out on the house and loads of money by my ex.
I appreciate what my mum has done but can anyone suggest how I can appeal this decision?
