hi rainbow sorry in the delay to get back to you, here goes, shelter put niece in touch with a woman's refuge who have taken over everything even down to dealing with the council, everything they are doing is exactly what you have stated its called woman's aid, they are pushing for this council house because of the kids and it is the area they have grown up in, woman's aid are paying for everything and claiming it all back off the council as you said its what they should be paying, they have taken everything out of her hands, they have all the paperwork,from the council, she is in temp accommodation arranged by them as it is near her mums and the council only offered B+B so they again are charging this to the council, everything they are doing is exactly what you told my niece to do, social security are also sorting what money she is entitled to, things work very different in wales for some reason and she is doing not too bad, we are going tomorrow to sister in laws for a get together to cheer everyone up, had bad news again tonight in regards to mum in law who has taken a turn for the worse, but other sister doesn't want anyone to go to kent as yet, she is being a bit not to nice at the mo, she has hit us today with she has had a lawyer in to gain power of attorney, so she can have access to the mums bank accounts, i asked why she couldn't get a third party form from the banks as we had to do this with my gran, any how when we receive the letter off the solicitor tomorrow i will probably be posting asking questions on that, she is being very awkward at the mo, as mum in law stays with her, nothing is ever easy is it, but i am ok trying to take a back seat in everything to keep myself sane, what a rotten year but it will soon be over and 2008 will hopefully be so much better, will stop rambling now, thanks to everyone for all the help on this especially rainbow, will keep you all updated and hopefully fingers crossed she will get this house and start a fresh.
