I an affected by the new housing benefit rules. I am currently in a large two bedroomed house by myself. I contacted my housing authority offering to move to a smaller council flat. I filled in the application and waited for the inspection.
The house was inspected and I was told the back room and my bedroom ceiling needed painting but that was all. I explained that I have a trapped nerve in my neck which severly restricts what I can do but they were not interested.
Today I got the "to do" list from them. Its gone from one room and a ceiling to a full house decoration. I am furious. First off they are aware of my health problems and secondly they lied to me about what needs done. Plus I am on JSA and I have no idea how I will afford the extra paint. I have managed one wall which has taken 3 days and I am already on my maximum pain killers.
If they are so desperate for houses why are they making it so hard for me to move and putting my health at risk.
