I am sorry but the concern is that local authorities, in practice, connect both. They say if you are not on the social housing list, you do not get housing assistance. That is how it works in practice. While I appreciate that the legislation itself may not say that, how can that be addressed? It will have a real practical impact. I do not know if I mentioned it but currently there is not an appeals process.
