hi, one of my relatives has been evicted from their home, through no fault of their own. she is visibly mildly disabled, mentally quite young (12?) though she is in her 50's and has a job. Can anyone recommend a group or website that could advise us or any help from any of you would be greatly appreciated, thankyou.

Contact your local Mencap, they are very good, and helped us out with some legal matters before we joined, i'm sure they'll help. Another you can try, and this also free, 'Disability Law', 020 7791 9800, for some legal advice,,if you google the D L, youshould get a website for them,


If you get no joy, come back, I have the addresses of some charities that may be able to help.


Nearly forgot, in which part of the country does she live?.

shes from surrey. we got form from council but she scored low with them as she is quite able. can work but not cook or iron or be responsiible for money etc. thanks for advice, will try those, shes staying with my mum right now, but cant for long.

The Disability law is based in Whitechape, but we haven't had to use them for some time,


It shouldn't matter that she can work, because of my daughter, I know very many handicapped people, with all types of disabilities, and a few of them go to work, while still being disabled, Is your relative registered disabled?.

hi lonnie


she got her job as she had a 'green card' but the council have already said they have no proof of her being registered disabled as she has claimed no benefits. she has a letter from her doctor and is going to the council tomorow. sheltered housing would be suitable for her. thanks for your help lonnie
