Council want to place me in B&B!

Is it really allowed that a parent can evict their 17 year old and the council be obliged to provide housing?

Yes. What else are the council going to do? Put a 17 year old on the streets? You're too old to be put into care and a parent cannot be made to have you.

Her parents aren't evicting her - although she's only 17, she's been living with her GF for the last eighteen months, has been pregnant and lost twins, is now pregnant again but has walked out from her BF's house because he became abusive.

Well, that's one version.

Where she found time to work hard and pay lots of tax, I don't know.

I can see why her Parents are evicting her.


Please stop feeding the troll. Some people need to stop complaining what they are given for free and move on in life.

Its unfair to keep linking this if it has nothing to do with the op.

You've just linked to it...;)

cgs, please explain to me how someone with severe psychosis and poor mobility is being 'ungrateful' by being worried about their housing situation, and thus how they will cope?

You might want to consider hard and fast about using your severe MH issues to get what you want as it could very well backfire on what you are trying to accomplish.... If your health is so severe that you can't cope in a BB for 6 weeks, then I think SS will have quite some weight to consider that your MH is also too severe to be able to look after a newborn on your own. No baby, no priority to the housing you want....

But I won't be homeless, and there are support networks in place to help me. Just because my family won't have me doesn't mean they're 'so serious', my Mother doesn't like me, it's quite simple. I wouldn't want to bring a child into that toxic household. I sometimes can't climb stairs but my council have bungalows available.

On what basis is your mobility impaired for a 17 year old who is mobile enough to have other children and another on the way.


If you have really poor mobility how do you plan on looking after your children and young one on the way. In fact why are you having another baby at all if you struggle????


Your story is inconsistent.


If your MH is so severe, what have you done to help yourself? Are you one that doesn't attend outpatient appointments and attend MH programmes but then stop attending?


Then end up complaining that your MH is severe and your GP / case worker is neglecting you, when actually it's because you can't be bothered to help yourself or like playing the MH card.


I know a friend who is a GP who often signs people off sick who have MH issues, but then they never attend the GP for help, engage with the CMHT, apart from sick notes. See what you may from that.

She's been living with her BF for 18 months or so; she's been claiming ESA and PIP for some time; her MH issues are under control so that a baby would be safe with her;

but less than two weeks ago, this was the story -

"For the last 6 months, my Psychosis has returned with a vengeance. I'm currently claiming ESA and I'm due my face to face meeting this Thursday, after which my money should go up to £104 a week. I'm sceptical and hoping they won't put me in a work placement group, as I physically cannot set foot into a workplace.

Things are just impossible, most of the time. I can't answer doors due to paranoid thoughts and suspicions. I can't even answer a phone call and often wonder if it really is the person it says on the caller ID. I won't open my own letters because I can't help but think it'll be a death announcement. Going out alone isn't just impossible because of paranoid thoughts and hallucinations, but I also worry how people will react if I appear unusual in my actions and words.

I can't go out without my Mum with me, making shopping an extremely difficult task. I won't travel alone. I'm living a very sheltered life. My medication (Risperadone) is helping my hallucinations but is making me so exhausted I feel like a zombie 24/7. I sometimes wonder what the point of this all is.

I'm often forgetting to meet my own basic needs and recuire assistance. I can't cook a basic meal - last week I tried frying myself a bacon sandwich and forgot the stove was on! If my Dad hadn't noticed the burning smell, I could've caused a serious accident. What's more, the smell made me adamant the house was going to blow up! It was a moment of pure lunacy. But at the time, I'm the rational one and everyone else is just blind to the truths.

Even if I did get an interview for PIP, I don't know how I'd get there. I'm a grown adult and my Mum has very young children to consider, not to mention she works and isn't always available. How will I explain myself to someone? It doesn't seem possible, given that I can barely get my words out. By the looks of someone's letter, it seems they only welcome someone you know to speak for you, and don't supply anyone. I can't get on public transport either.

What are my chances of getting PIP? I suffer from Fibromolagia too, but I've heard people say that's even harder to claim for."

And before I can even see them? Hoe ludicrous. So I'll just pop a child out and it'll be whisked away just like that? You do know that children aren't just taken away, don't you? A mother has every right to hold their newborn child, no matter the circumstances. Please do your research.

You seem on the verge of being sectioned - as you are a danger to young children. So no, you have ZERO rights. I know my research. Now stop trolling and get some friends before you go back to school and this whole debacle can end.

Begs the question why then, only 2 weeks ago, you were seeking advice on how to conceive a child with this person. Now your pregnant, earning benefits, not earning benefits, living with your partner, living with your parents.


None of it adds up. Too many plot holes.

Don't forget a MD who recommended IVF for a 17 year old on Anti Psychotic drugs.

I have a solution! Somewhere in this tale there is a property (or two!) standing empty:

* The parents home, where OP was living but now is not allowed to live. We'll assume the rest of the family are still there.
* The council property she was in with the ex. Is he still there?
* The council property she was moving to with the ex. Has ex moved there?
* The mortgaged property she apparently also lived in with the ex.

Now either the ex is living between three properties or there are two properties available. OP, what has happened to all these fantastical homes?!!

Hasn't she said previously that she has two other children? I wonder how she's capable of looking after them if she can't even cook a bacon sandwich?! No mention of them on this post though.
