I have just moved into a council house after 11 years on the waiting list. For 10 of those years I rented the same apartment, for the first couple of years getting rent allowance, and then paying the rent myself. I work full time (often difficult hours), am a single parent and have always paid my rent and bills on time. I do not feel entitled to my house, simply lucky to have it after years of paying high rents on a low income. Perhaps you should be patient, work hard, be a good tennant and give your children stability and not the trauma of constant moving, or even worse becoming squatters. If you are 'entitled' to a council house because of low income, then you will get one eventually, when it is your turn.
And to steve1234, not everyone who is in a council house is a scrounger. I work hard, and the rent I pay is based on a differential system meaning it is based on the income I earn, and is over 1/5th of my weekly earnings.
