Information for applicants
Additional priority may be awarded if the information provided indicates that your current
accommodation is having an adverse effect on your health and a move to more suitable property
would considerably improve your current circumstances. Restrictions may be attached to the
type of property we will offer you such as, a ‘ground-foor recommendation’ where the applicant
will only be considered for ground foor accommodation because of their health and mobility. The
property may also require an assessment from an Occupational Therapist to ensure it is suitable
or can be suitably adapted.
Additional priority will not be awarded if your current difficulties are a result of your own
actions.
