‘Financially motivated’ council breached Care Act by cutting autistic man’s personal budget

Ombudsman finds Nottinghamshire council's failure to meet man's care needs left him and his parents covering the shortfall.

I care for S, who is now 29!! (I have cared for him since he was 9.) He has classic autism, epilepsy, IBS & sensory modulation difficulties. When he is anxious his behaviour can be challenging, he communicates using a Dynavox.

Good to see the law being upheld by LGO

Just a pity that the family had to suffer in the beginning.

Should not be having to fight to get councils to follow the law.

Sadly this is routinely happening.
