Cheshire East Council (23 005 368)
Statement Upheld Other 10-Sep-2024
Summary: Mrs K complained the Council and the Integrated Care Board (ICB) stopped paying for Miss D’s housing costs when the property changed to supported housing. She said this resulted in
Miss D depleting her savings because she had to pay rent and incurring legal charges as she had to seek specialist legal advice. We found fault in the way the Council and the ICB decided to stop paying for Miss D’s housing costs as her accommodation should have been provided without charge in line with the terms of the Mental Health Act 1983. The legal fees she owes could have been avoided were it not for the faults. The Council and the ICB have agreed to our recommendations and will repay Miss D over £59,000 she paid for rent plus interest and pay her avoidable legal fees. They will also improve their processes and determine if others have been affected in a similar way. -
