Hello I'm new on this site and not sure if I'm posting this in the right place or if its even ok to post it? Don't want to offend anyone.
I am in a one bed council house, I have 2 children and am 12 weeks pregnant with number 3, I am on the housing list, have been since 2011, however I am in band c (the lowest) and I bid almost every week (as long as something is available) however I have never even been close. I looked at my councils allocations policy and it said a baby is classed as a person from 6 months of pregnancy, so I mentioned this to my council (as my council states 4 people to a one bed is over crowded, so surely when I reach 6 months of pregnancy that should be '4 people'?!) However the council has said that is wrong and that's not for priority purposes its for bidding purposes as in bidding for a bigger property, but then I was told by a seperate person fron the council that a baby can be added at any point?! And it states nowhere that a baby isn't counted till its born in there allocations but it does state the 6 months thing. I spoke to cab who told me to contact shelter so I did and they agreed that the council was fobbing me off and I should ask for a review, but I don't wanna ask for a review and just be told no, cos then that would be final. I know 3 months doesn't seem like a long time but the list on priority is still 18months-2 years so to me 3 months will make a difference! Can't be here for another 2 years I am on the top flor with no lifts also and its 6 flights of stairs up its a nightmare (not that they see an issue with that) what can I do I really need advice what does anyone else think?
