Bedroom tax and major adaptations

[deebee]

Thank you for that advice

So, I lost my appeal and am now putting in a claim for DHP but my local council will only pay DHP for 3 months, after which you have to find a " long term solution " stuck between a rock and a hard place

Unfortunately I didn't expect the appeal to go anywhere positive.

The 3 months DHP is disappointing.
Do they resonably expect you to find somewhere smaller in 3 months?

Unfortunately it's where we are now with housing.

My sympathies with your situation now, but I don't know of any real answer.

If you lose the appeal for DHP, you still almost certainly better staying put with bedroom tax vs going private rental.

Do a new claim for DHP in 3 months time, 3 months I think doesnt mean necessarily you wont get it again, they just want you to go through the hassle of to keep asking to put you off.
