A letter from Terry Moran (CEO) of Disability & Carers Service advises us to pursue a complaint about their handling of a client's DLA case (dont ask!) to the Independent Case Examiner(ICE). ICE have only started taking cases from the DCS recently. Their usual remit (until very recently) has been Child Support Agency complaints. Only certain DCS cases can be routed to ICE (if specfied by DCS). Appears to be a soft intro for them. Usual route, of course, is Parliamentary Ombudsman (MP is only too willing in this case). Has anyone been down the ICE complaints route yet? Any views?
