Backdated DLA - Client deceased
Thu 13-Jan-05 01:55 PM

Client is the husband of the deceased who is, in effect, trying to change the law. I have been given the task of support via my Head of Service. He has independantly gone to the Commissioers and has been granted an oral hearing. He intends to use the argument of equity. Basically his wife would have been entitled to DLA had she claimed, they were unaware of it and he is now trying to obtain judgement for it to be paid (the money to go to a trsut fund he has set up). Does anyone know of any loop holes? Christine.
