Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some advice on a situation with my HDB application.
My ex-spouse and I have mutually agreed to a divorce, and I’ll be selling my share of our HDB flat to her at an agreed price. I’ve already completed my HFE, and I’m eligible to apply for a short-lease 2-room BTO as I’m above 55 years old.
However, my application was recently cancelled by HDB. The reason stated was the proximity condition under the Married Child Priority Scheme / Proximity Housing Grant (MCPS/PHG) — that I must live within 4 km of my child’s flat for a 5-year period. My child and their spouse had bought their flat about 4 years ago under this scheme, and their MOP has not yet been reached.
I really need to apply and get a place to live on my own, and I can only afford a BTO flat. Has anyone faced a similar situation before? Is there any way to appeal or request an exception from HDB due to a change in family circumstances like divorce?
