This caused uncertainty to Mr X over whether he should have received additional mental health support in the period that followed, and whether this may have prevented his health from deteriorating. The Trust, Council and ICB agreed to provide a remedy to Mr X by reassessing his Section 117 needs, and making service improvements.

Mrs X said this caused her distress and placed her in financial difficulty. She would like the Council to remove the debt. There was fault in the way the Council did not monitor the rent account and communicate this with Mrs X. This distressed Mrs X. The Council has agreed to apologise, make a financial payment and review the property affordability.

Kent County Council (24 004 188)
Statement Upheld Charging 15-Jan-2025
Summary: Miss X complained the Council failed to properly consider a disability related expenditure claim for her son, Mr Y. We have found fault in the Council’s actions. We agree with its recent change of mind which said it should have considered the circumstances of the claim more carefully when it made its original decision. This caused avoidable distress and frustration for Miss X and meant Mr Y was expected to pay towards his care and support for a period where he should not have done. To remedy the injustice caused by this fault, the Council has agreed to complete its suggested remedy of an apology and symbolic payment to the family.

London Borough of Redbridge (24 008 099)
Statement Upheld Homelessness 15-Jan-2025
Summary: Miss X complains about the Council’s actions after following her homelessness. We have concluded our investigation having made a finding of fault. The Council placed Miss X in emergency accommodation that was not suitable for occupation at the time. I did not find fault with the Council’s initial response to Miss X’s homelessness, nor the Council’s actions in response to the protection of Miss X’s possessions. While we found fault, we did not consider there was scope for further personal remedy or service improvement recommendations; the Council had already offered a fair and proportionate remedy for the injustice caused and no further action is necessary.
