The Council was at fault in how it considered what funds Mrs W should have to pay for her social care support. It was also at fault in how it reviewed Mrs W’s needs. The fault caused Mrs W’s representative, Miss X avoidable frustration and meant Mrs W went without support she should have had. The Council will apologise to Miss X, make symbolic payments and make service improvements to prevent fault in future.
