Question

Would my doctor?
i am pregnant with my third child i am currently in a 2 bedroom house which the rooms are very small, i can only fit a bunk bed and a chest of draws in the kids bedroom i had to put my 1 and a half year old son on the bottom bunk and his 4 years old brother on the top bunk but my youngest keeps climbing on the top bunk at night and has already fallen once which i had to take him to hospital as he had a nasty bump on his head, dont know where the baby will sleep i can fit the cot in my room but he/she cannot stay in my room forever do you think my doctor or health visitor would write a letter to my council asking for me to be rehoused?

Answer 1

Your Doctor AND your Health visitor will write you a letter, to support your case.
I am in the same situation, I have a 5 year old and live in a bedsit, It is hell, to say the least! I went to my local council, arranged a meeting with my local MP. All areas have day surgeries, for this type of thing. Arrange a meeting with your local MP and they too will write a note for you.
Good luck!

Answer 2

You definitely need more room. Doctor's letter would be good but you need to take action straight away as these things take time. contacting the housing authority is a good move but you probably need to follow up on action as they are slow to motivate. Possibly you could also find out if you could add a room if your partner can handle a hammer. One can build using seconds so the cost can be kept down and you get to stay in the same area and it is a good idea to be able to organise your own help when faced with a problem so good luck

Answer 3

Anything that can have a major effect on health is the doctors concern and overcrowding IS a MAJOR health concern. Yes, speak top your Dr and ask his advice and you need to speak to a social worker as well.
BTW, don't feel guilty about having a family. Families are wonderful things and it's my belife that everyone is entitled to one.

Answer 4

I'm not too sure if they would, but you could try contacting your local council. Explain the problem & ask if there is anything they can do for you. They should be able to do something for you, even if it is short Term.

Answer 5

Im not really that sure but I suppose its worth a try, although I do know that u will have to accept whatever the council offer u. x

Answer 6

if you are in public housing it is by law that you get rehoused to accomodate your family so a letter from doctor would be helpful but you should contact your housing authority
