    Summary: Mrs B complained about how the Council carried out a care assessment and awarded direct payments and raised concerns about the Council billing her for services she did not receive, failing to take account of her reasonable adjustments and delay considering her complaint. The Council delayed completing the care assessment and putting in place direct payments, wrongly billed Ms B for services she did not receive and delayed considering her complaint. There is no evidence of fault in other areas of the complaint. Ms B has experienced distress and missed out on care support. An apology, payment to Ms B, a further financial assessment, care plan review and training for officers is satisfactory remedy.
