"Stingy" Community Care Grant Awards
Fri 08-Apr-05 11:09 AM

Hi

I have had quite a few low awards where the items are accepted but the amounts are , well "stingy" I think is the word.

I am trying to find case law or similar on which to base my appeals / review requests; does anyone have any ideas or pointers or suggestions ?

Thanks for your help


Dan

The SFO must be expected to evidence where an item can reasonably be obtained for the amount awarded. If s/he cannot then the decision would usually be overturned by an SFI.
