London Borough of Croydon (25 006 534)

Statement Upheld Allocations 09-Jun-2026

Summary: The Council failed to review Ms X’s banding when she provided further evidence, failed to discuss the option of a disabled facilities grant for adaptations and delayed responding to some of her communications. That caused Ms X distress and leaves her with some uncertainty. An agreement to reconsider Ms X’s banding, a discussion about adaptations with the housing association, apology and payment to Ms X are satisfactory remedy.

It was reasonable for Ms X to ask for a review of the decisions at the time.
