Nobody gets free homes from any Council. You can get housing benefit, where they help you with rent, but you need to be either on Disability Living Allowance, have lots of kids, or be on Jobseekers to get it (Jobseekers is basically the dole, which they've stepped up lately. Background checks to hell and back on everyone who claims, and you need to go to interviews every few weeks to prove you're after work. Fail to, and you stop getting what little the dole did give you). The Council estates are always the shitty ones too.

I know how horrible it is sitting on a list, counting up points, waiting to see if the Council think you and your family are worth more than a one bedroom flat in a heroin street. So I'm really pleased for you, Winterborn! Hope they give you a good 'un.
