HB Paid Direct to Landlord
Wed 25-Aug-04 10:05 AM

Have case where custmor who indicated that wanted her HB paid direct to landlord from start of claim.
HB paid sent her the cheques and customer spent them. Customer has schizophrenia.
Do we have an argument to get HB to stand the cost of her mistake?
