Forced relocation

i have lived in my council flat for twelve years with my dog. My council has now told me that i am to be rehoused, because my building is being knocked down. i don't really want to move, but i don't have a choice. Can i get any compensation for being forced to move? Can i ask for a bigger flat? The council say they won't give me anything bigger than the flat i have been living in, but i think this is unfair. Do i get any say in where i move to. The council have been very unhelpful and seem to think i am awkward and do't want to tallk to me.

What shall i do?

Forced relocation (in reply to Guest)

When dealing with the transfer of existing tenants, some local authority areas have a high demand for housing and a limited amount of stock which means when allocating property an authority can only offer a household whatever property is available at the time and what is suitable for their
current needs. Therefore in this case it would be unlikely for a single person to be offered a two bedroom flat or house particularly in areas of limited stock.
