To be assessed as eligible for medical points, you must demonstrate that: 

1. your medical condition is being caused or made worse by your housing conditions, and 
2. your current property cannot be improved or adapted to meet your needs at a reasonable cost, and 
3. rehousing is likely to significantly improve your condition. 

If your application demonstrates all of these factors, you will be awarded one of the following: 

Rehousing is necessary (150 points) 

150 points are awarded if your medical condition and housing circumstances are having a serious impact on your health and wellbeing and rehousing would be necessary. 

Urgent Need to be Rehoused (500 points) 

500 points are awarded if your medical condition and housing circumstances are having a serious impact on your health and wellbeing and you are in urgent need of rehousing. 

If we send you a medical questionnaire, you will need to return this, along with any supporting evidence, within 21 days. If you do not return your questionnaire within this time, we will not be able to award any housing and health points. 

We aim to assess all medical questionnaires within 21 days. However, due to the number and complexity of requests we may not always meet this deadline.  

Will I have a physical examination?

We do not conduct physical examinations. We also do not diagnose or treat anyone. 

Our Housing and Health advisers base all their recommendations on the written information you provide.
