Firstly thanks everyone for the input!
There are a number of factors revolving around this case that in effect incorporate everyones advice.
1, SOS's submission asserts that the first they knew of client leaving residential care address in 2005 was in 2008, but we have annual letters with DLA increases i.e. LRM for the two relevant addresses dated 2007 and 2008 prior to our first contacts with DBC Blackpool. So there is incontrovertible evidence proving each of her respective change of addresses had been notified.
2, Paul's case law suggestion has resonance too, because client at college of further education for students with special education needs, providing residential care, again documentary evidence illustrating that, and that she had gone there straight from a School. Supercession decision made a few months before she due to leave her residential college.
3, As for Phillip's case law suggestion (apart from being really really useful), its representative of so many short comings in this case, not least because this is young woman with severe health conditions (i.e. life long), unequivocal evidence in SOS submission and as for people (identified within SOS's sub) who could have been contacted after she left Care, totals 9 people from College, Social Services and CMHT, one of whom had been clearly communicating written info on her behalf, because she is unable too, and who presumably communicated that she left Care.
