Sorry but as a cardiac nurse, I have never heard of any 'life threatening' or indeed any other cardiac condition being affected by temperature

Not many doctors even know about my condition. Long QT Syndrome (LQTS). And yes cold does affect me, especially with having Raynards and Pernicious Anaemia. I didn't really want to post my exact conditions but if I can teach a medical professional then I will. The QT intervals of the heart are significantly longer than people with a 'normal heart'. Certain things trigger torsades de pointes in people with LQTS and the cold is one of my triggers.

It is not a case of putting a jumper on and a few blankets to keep warm. It is having a constant temperature so I don't go from differing temperatures.

I'm sorry if nobody believes me, but I can't see why somebody would lie about that!

Thanks for all the responses that have helped

I have been in touch with the liasion officer and they said the best they can do to hurry it along is 6-8 weeks even knowing about my heart condition!

I can't believe they haven't even offered temporary heating, it just seems so unorganised.

I will be delivering my doctors letter today so hopefully this will speed things along.

Surely not leaving you without any bathing facility for up to 8 weeks is breaking a law? They can't expect a family to use a sink for that time. I feel sorry for the people who don't have family or friends to go to for bathing.

Unless you're in the Highlands, I'm not surprised, it's late May!

How many children living in the property and what ages?
