We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s failure to properly assess a homelessness application and its assessment of Ms X’s priority on the housing register. It was reasonable for Ms X to challenge the decision that she was non-priority homeless and the suitability of her accommodation by way of a review and appeal under the homeless legislation. Some of the matters she has complained about took place more than 12 months before she complained to us and we will not exercise discretion to consider them now.
