hi i think the point vict was trying to make is that the reason she was not granted homless was because she didnt pay her rent and didnt pay her hb on to her landlord the councill was never going to re house mot as homeless after that and nor should they this homeless clause seems to be robbing people of afordable housing as most abuse the system (not saying you are mot) but when you are top of the list and have been waiting over two years while beening top of the list seeing the homeless people repeatedly jump in front of you can be frustrating espeacialy when they seem to of been evited from mum and dads or not born in this country i dont get it that i cant get housed by my councill but someone from poland can im not raceist i just dont get it how do they get all the ponits you need to get a councill house these days

the point im trying to make is if the councills changed the way people got housed under the homeless act less poeple would try and do it for example
you join the list the only people who can quee jump are the medical a so if you are homeless the councill house you in tempary accomidition like bedsits flats ect then you take your place in the quee you dont jump in front of anyone and we all get housed at somepoint fairly then poeple like mot wouldnt have to go through all the stress she has as she would be on the list and would be housed im sure mot wouldnt mind staying where she is untill her turn come up on the list instead of the way its done now that she got to be out and they wont help and even if mot dose put her name back on the list the homeless will just jump in front all the time

so back to the rent thing the councill know that the homeless clause is beeing abused and there is not alot they can do about but they can say you made your self homeless by not paying the rent espically when you are getting hb so if you was at the top of the list and a house came up and you had been waiting two years or more then find out that you didnt get the house as someone who was made homeless got it you would be a bit peeved but then you find out that the reason the person was homless as they didnt pay there rent even though they had hosing benefit you would be outraged and rightly so to the councill know this would send out the wrong message the councill would be saying dont pay your rent mortage get evivted and we will house you of course the councill dont want that so they have to have the if dont pay your rent line to proctect it self from meltdown

mot knows why she didnt pay her rent i dont and i know what a struggle it is i to live in rented accomindation never knowing how long we will be living here for not having the choice of what color carpet i would like having to ask permison to put a picture up and paying 600 per month for the same house my neighbour rent of our councill for 86 per week its soul destroying to know that i will not be housed by my councill how ever long i have been on the list 5 years now unless my landlord is going to evict me so mot i feel for you i do but this was one battle you was never going to win unless the hb have made a mistake and didnt pay you enough hb in the first place ithink the best thing you can do now is with the suport you have here is to find a private rental again and just wait with the rest of us that someday we will get a home to live in instead of some doogy decor overprice hole we have to live in now

Housing Benefit

I though it may help you to know what HB you would be entitled to.

This web page tells you the size of property you are entitled to:

http://www.therentservice.gov.uk/online-services/room-calculator.asp

and this page tells you the amount of housing benefit that equates to for your area:

:hello: Hi MOT - hope you manage to find somewhere today.

Earwig - I would also like to say that for me this thread is not about having a go at why MOT is homeless - it is about making sure that a mother and her children are not on the streets as of next Monday. That is the reason so many people are and have helped. It is not about you and how long you have had to wait it is about MOT and her situation - it is not about you. Some people always have to make everything about themselves but sometimes it isnt, it is about somebody who needs help. I would liken your arguement to those who run up debts and then can not pay - they come here for help and not judgement. Should they be refused any help because it is their own fault. I will answer that myself - NO they deserve to be treat as human beings who need help. If you are sick of being on the waiting list then that is your problem and nothing whatsoever to do with MOT. I hope you do manage to get yourself and your family accomodation and I wish you all the best in your search.

well yet another day dawns, got a surprise in my email box this morning a reply to my email to Mike Penning MP for Hemel Hempstead, unfortunateley it was an auto response one saying thanks for your email but Id like to discuss this with you by letter or phone, can I have your postal address. So like a good girl Ive emailed him my full postal address andphone number, I have a suspicion that I wont hear anything else:rolleyes: :rolleyes: but we can live in hope. I suppose they have to check his email and the person who wrote it.
It would be so nice to actually hear his stand on DBCs decision but like all MPs they don there Scarlet Pimpernel cloak(we seek him here, we seek him there, we seek him everywhere:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
In response to some of the posts having a pop at MOT and not paying her rent etc, from the very first post by MOT she has been totally honest in this, perhaps these posters should walk a couple of miles in MOTs shoes, and yes its a free country and we have the right to post our opinions,my opinion is back off and be thankful your not in MOTs shoes.
I am honoured to be able to help MOT in any way I can, I am overcome with the compassion and kindness of the folk on here, long may it continue.
MOT and twins hugs.
Right am off into town.
See you all later
