The Ombudsman has recently ordered a Local Authority and ICB to pay over £68,000 to a woman for wrongly charging her for her housing costs when she should not have been charged as she qualified for Section 117 (Mental Health Act) exemption of costs.
In addition, the LA and ICB have been ordered to check if 21 other people have also been wrongly charged as well.
