    Can you pay for accommodation yourself in a cheap hotel with cooking and other facilities and get the council to pay you HB directly so you can pay it yourself?

    hey i have a question i know someone who need to write to the council because they are being asked to leave after christmas have been in band 3 for 2 n half years not had one offer so now have to leave . abit worried because they dont have good health physical disability and diagnosed with traumatic brain injury. would this make them a priority need automatically? very worried about them saying they have to go into temporary accommodation as tho feel they would be vulnerable as my physical disability has made weak. also would you be able to tell me what theyr facing they used your template in my letter (very good by the way thanks). if they were to be accepted as in priority need. what would the process be after that would they be put into one of the highest banding groups? or offered temporary accommodation. would they be higher than someone else in temporary accommodation reallly worried about having to spend alot of time in a tempoaray accomadtion as not sure if theyll be able to cope with it. thanks
