Disabled mum forced to climb 132 steps accuses Tower Hamlets council of discrimination over unsuitable housing
Briefly

Ms Dirir expresses deep frustration, stating, 'I've got health conditions, it's not suitable and they just keep giving me out of borough [housing], for what reason?... who's going to help me with my shopping? Or on my worst days when I'm housebound...' This highlights her sense of abandonment by the council at a vulnerable time.
Despite Ms Dirir's visibility of health issues and distinct needs, a council spokesperson acknowledged the situation but mentioned, 'the alternative accommodation offered to Ms Dirir in Essex was the closest available to meet her needs.' This points to the ongoing housing crisis hindering appropriate support.
The situation has taken a toll on Ms Dirir's health, causing further deterioration: 'It can take her up to 40 minutes to climb the stairs,' indicating the persistent physical struggle she faces compounded by her deteriorating conditions, including PTSD.
In light of her struggles, Ms Dirir emphasized, 'In addition to her own health challenges, Ms Dirir's children also have significant needs. One child has learning disabilities, ADHD, and mild autism. This illustrates the compounded difficulties faced by the family in seeking stable and accessible housing.
