EXAMPLES OF DISCRIMINATION Our friendly and approachable team are very experienced in in bringing claims and holding those whom discriminate to account. Some examples of the cases we have successfully handled include: • An action against the Department of Work and Pensions of the unreasonable delay in processing Personal Independent Payments (PIP) that would have removed the benefit cap which was causing a tenant to accrue rent arrears. • An action against a local housing authority for their failure to make a decision on a claim on a tenants Housing Benefit. • A challenge to an social housing allocation policy that discriminated against disabled people who required an adapted property. • A request for a reasonable adjustment on behalf of a tenant being evicted for rent arrears and who could not manage her finances due mental illness, to have the arrears paid directly from Income Support. • A request for a reasonable adjustment on behalf of a partially sighted client to have all written correspondence in large font. • A challenge to a local housing authority for placing a transgender female in all-male accommodation with shared showering facilities. • A claim for bringing a possession claim and injunction against a tenant based on anti-social behaviour that was a direct cause of the tenants disability. • Procuring a dedicated disabled parking space for the mother of a disabled child.
