Is waiting for a Care Act assessment for 4 months acceptable? NO.
A recent LGO decsion recommends that a family receive £300 from the Local Authority for having waited 4 months for a Care Act assessment to be done, and £200 for waiting a further 4 months to be reimbursed by the CCG for funding care that should have paid for. In the meantime the person living this nightmare tried to take his own life... who pays?
