No, it'll be allocated to someone who needs it more.

Nobody can know the answer. Ask the council.

Are you 100% sure? As the council man rang up to say she can go sign for the keys even though she told him the husband (the reason she got fast tracked) passed away.. but I guess the council could still change their minds before she goes to sign for the keys?

The flat no above is incorrect.

If she has been told she can still take it and it is affordable for her then that's what she can do.

Seems daft to ask a forum if the council have already provided a positive and presumably satisfactory response.?

If she also fits the criteria for a bungalow in her own right and social housing, then unless it was heavily adapted for specific disabilities then as far as she is concerned I cannot see what grounds they could withdraw the offer on.

That said as above its down to the HA/Council and their policies.

Her council/HA seem content that she is eligible or they wouldnt have offered her to sign up

If the husband was, "really sick and on end of life," I imagine the council's housing dept would have taken the likelihood of him dying any time soon into account. They would hardly envisage moving the couple in, only to move the wife out again a few months later at a time when she'd need some stability. That would be crazy.

Of course not, I'm going on second-hand information from somebody on a forum, who is now drip-feeding us further information.

As the council man rang up to say she can go sign for the keys even though she told him the husband (the reason she got fast tracked) passed away..

So why are you asking? It sounds like it's passed the point of no return.

By your post count, you ought to know better than throw your toys if the answers displease you.


Happens regularly here.


If you just leave the thread alone it will soon disappear. Plenty of people with real problems on this board!

Couple have got to front of waiting list for council bungalow but the disabled one has just died, is the widow still entitled to the bungalow given it was only allocated to them because of the disability.

Surely depends on

1) had they signed paperwork

2) what are the council rules on rights of succession

3) is the property protected for use only by disabled residents
