Because they can’t just rock up at the social housing and demand a house - the waiting lists are incredibly long. Because, sadly, there will be other people on the list with children who are actually homeless, or have been living in temporary accommodation for a long, long time. Beggy and Steve will not leapfrog over them, especially as they currently live in a house that they own, and are set to come away from with money from profit that they could use on private renting (if they haven’t bought something else). Because, even if some people think their children have ‘additional needs’, those needs are not ‘high priority’, they are learning difficulties or similar. Not health problems or debilitating illnesses. Because they have family they can move in with/help them out financially. Because they are not homeless
Of course it works differently in every local authority area, but they would absolutely not be entitled to one in mine, not in that time frame whilst they still had a roof over their heads and money to burn (which she is handily showcasing to 1000’s)
