  • London Borough of Haringey (25 012 875)

    Statement Upheld Disabled facilities grants 06-Jul-2026

    Summary: Ms X complains the Council delayed in progressing a request for repairs/adaptations to her property. Ms X says the Council delayed in completing an assessment by an Occupational Therapist and providing her with a copy of taking any action. Miss X also complains the Council has not included all items in its assessment of her Disability Related Expenses from January 2025 onwards. Ms X says this has delayed her getting a wheelchair as the property is not currently suited for one, leaving her confined indoors and has caused her frustration. We have found fault in the actions of the Council for delay in referring the case to an Occupational Therapist. The Council has agreed to write to Miss X to apologise, pay her a symbolic payment and complete a service improvement.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 06-Jul-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s offers of unsuitable accommodation at more than one address under its homelessness duty. It was reasonable for Ms X to appeal the review of the decisions to the County Court. She subsequently applied for judicial review of the Council’s decisions to the High Court and we have no jurisdiction to investigate matters which have been subject to court proceedings, regardless of the outcome.

The Council has agreed to apologise and make symbolic payments to remedy this injustice.
