With regards sheltered housing, they should be given on individual circumstances. Age has nothing to do with it if you are disabled and need someone on hand if you should need the help! As you are saying that you can't stay where you are now .... so what's stopping them from finding you sheltered accomodation. I take it they have confirmation that you are disabled and how things stand with you? So what's the problem? They should give sheltered houses case by case! Seems to me that you are being discriminated against, because youu don't fit their criteria and are not over 50. I would seek further advice if I were you.
