Go to Citizens' Advice Bureau - they are excellent., or phone them, but you have to hang on for ages as their lines are busy. If you can, go to an office of theirs and be prepared to wait...they have solicitors, etc. Good luck 
Sorry - I forgot about Help the Aged...if you are in that age bracket, they even come out to the house sometimes....so worth a try.
tameside.gov.uk/housingbene... ile keep lookin, xx
Hi most housing offices have welfair rights guys women .. As a private tenante a think you still have rights to use there services esp in recipt of housing benerfit
Might be worth bowling down there and ask for carifaction on law governing housing benerfit and realatives .. am not 100% but am sure its ok if its not son or daughter

Try complaining to the Ombudsman, hope things start looking up soon, huff xxx
Hi, this article from Shelter explains fully, it appears that it is all down to the type of tenancy agreement you have with your sister in law. The other part of your question is to do with what the Local Housing Allowance is, for my Council it is £93.10 per week, other Councils have different rates.
This is the link for Shelter england.shelter.org.uk/get_...
Good luck
Good luck hon. I'm sure all is not lost. Can you go to or write to your mp? Keep trying, one thing government offices n officers are expert at and that is fobbing people off.
Blf have advisors too, worth a try 03000 030 555
Age UK also assist if you're in that age bracket.
You rant as much as you like but keep doing breathing exercises to help your inner calm! X
Hi chrissyk we are also waiting for a bungalow but not in the same dire situation you are but after seeing our MP he spoke to the council and housing organisation and managed to prioritise us higher up on the list so we have first(ish) refusal -It may be worth a try !!-Good Luck Plumbob
Sorry to hear of your plight Chrissy. Follow all the advise given and good luck. Keep fighting.xx

I had the same problem as sometimes I had to stay upstairs because I dreaded going back up 'everest', my stairs to use the loo or for whatever. I was looking for a one story home. A bungalow. Social services put in for a grant and put in a stair lift for me. It is wonderful being able to go up my stairs whenever I want now without being breathless despite using oxygen. Why didn't your social services do that for you? Has saved me moving home and is now like living on a single story home.
