A weekly update on benefits and taxation decisions

Please note: our decisions are published three months after they are issued to councils, care providers and the person who has made the complaint. The cases below reflect the caselaw and guidance available at the time of issue and the individual circumstances of each case.

Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council (19 011 712)

Summary: The Ombudsman cannot investigate Mr A’s complaint about the Council’s decision that it would cancel his housing benefit and council tax support. This is because Mr A has now used his right to appeal to the Tribunal Service.
