Hi, my brother has just been diagnosed with cancer and had a to be rushed into ICU due to complications, he will be in for at least another two weeks as he doesn't have the capacity or strength to looks after himself.
At the moment he lives in a private rented flat that is up two flights of stairs and I can't see how he will manage the stairs, the lease is up in December and don't know what would be best for him to do.
Would he be able to apply for social housing or because he has some savings would this go against him?
On another note because he has been in hospital for a couple of weeks and will be for more can he claim anything against the rent or council tax?
Thanks again
