Homelessness Appeals
Homelessness Appeals
If you are not satisfied with a review decision, or you do not receive notification of that decision within the appropriate time, you may appeal to the county court on a point of law
There are several decisions which may be appealed, including;
- Your eligibility for help
- What the council will or won’t help you with
- A decision to send you to another area because you are not considered to have a local connection to your current area.
- The suitability of the provided accommodation
- Delays or refusals
Get in Touch
Duncan Lewis advises those who are homeless and are waiting to be housed by the local council to get in touch as soon as possible after a housing decision has been made – or if there is a delay in being housed – to discuss a possible challenge against the council.
We are able to advise on all homelessness matters and suggest that you get in touch with one of our specialist housing solicitors as soon as possible if you are facing or have been made homeless.
If you have been made or are being made homeless and you want to appeal a decision made by your council it is important to seek legal advice on how to proceed. For expert legal advice, do not hesitate to call Duncan Lewis Housing Solicitors in confidence on 0333 772 0409.
