Council housing wait times

[Akkhan94]

I'm a mommy to a boy who has Agenisis of the corpus collosum. We are on the register, currently Band C . We have sent all the evidence in January which is still being assessed . I wanted to know if there were any other SEN mom's waiting or who have gotten up to priority and how long did it take ? I know it does take years .

It will depend where you live.

Birmingham lol

You can see Birmingham’s allocation policy here. I think you will be waiting a very long time.

Thank you! I was hoping to hear other people's wait time and stories too

Bump!!!

Hey, are you already in a council property?

Nope , we are on the register, band c

Still waiting for the application to be assessed.

Hi sen mom here. Have they changed your banding? I live in Birmingham also

No they have refused to change it

Sorry for the late response I only saw it now. Why did they refuse on what basis? Are you adequately housed? I was just offered a 2 bed house and I was band a.

Unless My inlaws make us homeless we will have to wait an they are willing to keep us till then because of my sons disability they don't want us to go to temporary accommodation, and council is saying Unless you go to temporary accommodation u are not homeless.

We are in Hampshire, and only get 30 extra points for housing.
Now they changing to band, but keep refusing to help. What do I need for council to put us on higher band?
