Vunerable adult

[andyspike]

Hi, hope someone can help.

I suffer from severe depression along with other mental illness. I fell behind with rent and council tax etc.

my rent Goes back 3 years after my depression first started, I got a suspended court order which I paid for a good few months (only a small amount due to low income). I fell behind and landlord took me back to court in feb, the case was adjourned twice due to mental health assessments etc. this week I've been given 8 weeks and am shortly going into supported accommodation. I do accept this and do understand etc.

i have fallen behind with council tax this year and had 1 letter and 2 visits from bailiffs about this, I've not answered door to them. I've been told I am a vunerable adult. I just need a letter template I can send if anyone can help, I have had enough of the stress and its not helping my mental health.

Re: Vunerable adult

Was you assessed for supported living? Are you under mental health services or social services? Either way you can request your consultant/GP/CPN/SW write a letter confirming your diagnosis and support an application to the court asking for a payment plan.

Generally, if assessed for supported living, you would be financially assessed (housing benefit and the care component) - has this been completed, and was you offered assistance to maximise your income?
