Marries quarter - welfare move

[Ficklefrancis]

Hi
My dh and I have applied to move from our 3 bed quarter to a 4 bed quarter on another patch because of severe sleeping issues with my ASD dd2. We have been offered a quarter on the same patch :( and although its a 4 bed it doesn't have a shower, has been abandoned and is opposite the very people who are making it incredibly difficult for my dd2 to sleep at night. We have an appointment with SSAFA on Monday to discuss this and the fact they won't move us via the publics exspense even though its a welfare move. We need to move quickly, preferably before school starts or dd2 will refuse to go to school again and I will start ripping out my hair that I have only just managed to grow back.
So my question is will seeing SSAFA actually help or will dh and I have to sleep downstairs and give up our bedroom to my dd2?

Depebds. What's the actual problem? Without knowing nobody can realky answer you.

I am not going into the in's and out's of why we need the move as dhe have already acknowledged its a valid reason to move (and it would take forever to explain), its down as a diabilty move but I was asking whether SSAFA can push for us to get a 4 bed house on the other patch or do they not have that power? Also do they help families with the expenditure of moving via a fund of some sort?
Thanks.

You've been offered a 4 bed house. Why should they?

Why should they help us to get a 4 bed on another patch? They don't have to, I was just wondering if its in their power to do so for welfare reasons.
No bother as I have an appointment with them so I will soon find out.

I was asking the reasons to see if they would/could help you. As you're unwilling to give any details I can't answer you, or give useful advice re other ports of call Hope you're less prickly with them.

I apologise for being prickly I didn't realise I was. That's the problem with things like this as you can't tell how I'm saying something and to other people it may come across a different way, I am extremely tired and worn down which is probably the reason it came across to you as it has. I don't want to give too much detail as I know a lot of wags from my dh's work go on here and seeing as we already got into trouble for not talking to his warrant first I didn't want to get dh in anymore trouble. Thanks for your time anyway.
If the powers that be could delete this thread I would be most grateful.

Fair enough. Have you tried the chaplain?

Ah no I haven't! Cracking idea! Thank you I will get dh on to it tomorrow. Thanks again.

Sorry for being prickly back. Ifyou wNt tjis deleted then

Also a note from the Dr or HV supporting a move to a different patch carries a lot of weight xx

aargh. If you want this deleted then report it. Explain why. Good luck.

Thanks batteryhen, I have a whole folder full of paper work about my daughter. Will take ages to fax it all through lol.
No worries about deleting the post btw, I asked but because its not breaking the rules they won't allow it. Never mind :)

Have you tried involving AFF as well? The housing rep (Cat Calder) may be able to help www.aff.org.uk/index.htm
