Summary
This was a successful appeal against a decision a severely disabled applicant was hot homeless that she was not homeless because it reasonable for her to continue to occupy her accommodation on the basis that the general housing circumstances prevailing in the area were such that others in the area were also living in circumstances which were ‘not ideal’.
The reviewing officer had failed to comply with the PSED which requires that a disabled person may be treated more favourably than a person who is not disabled.
