In a humiliating climb down, the Council have conceded that they were wrong to deny a Monmouth resident financial assistance with care fees….but only after legal proceedings had commenced.
The case should send alarm bells ringing throughout the county.
I recently acted on behalf of a local resident who endured months of stress and worry before he asked for my help.
Despite being clearly in the wrong, the Council persisted in denying my client the assistance to which he was entitled. I put in a robust claim at the High Court, but the local authority continued to resist. Eventually, the Council gave up before it got to a hearing, and agreed to pay my client’s costs in full.
“I approached Martyn for his assistance over challenging the local authority concerning funding for full time care. This was originally denied but Martyn’s extensive legal knowledge enabled the decision to be overturned much to the relief of our family.
Martyn was highly professional and more importantly very proactive from the first day of engagement. He also secured a full refund of costs from the County Council.
I Would highly recommend his services.”
