This form helps us determine if you should have priority on the housing register on medical grounds. Our assessment is based on how your current accommodation affects your health, and we may also make recommendations for your future needs.
A SEPARATE form must be completed for EACH person who wants to apply for a medical assessment.
Please provide any additional information you think may help such as a GP letter or OT report. If you decide to obtain additional evidence, this will be at your own expense. The Council may also make contact directly if necessary.
Please answer all questions in full as incomplete forms may not provide us with enough information to make an assessment. All information given will be treated confidentially.
Medical priority will not be awarded for, amongst other things; pregnancy, overcrowding, minor illnesses, (such as colds or flu) or any other temporary conditions and disabilities such as a broken limb.
Please do not submit another medical form once the assessment has been made unless your medical condition changes. Applications are not normally re-assessed within 6 months unless there has been a significant deterioration in the applicant's health.
