Clent claims interest on a loan for a range of home improvements, including kitchen units. Some are accepted, but DM chucks out the kitchen costs under IS Regs, Shedule 3, - considered under head F (provision of facilities for preparing & cooking food). Units were highish cost.
Asks for recon under head K: "Adapting dwelling for the special needs of a disabled person". This bit refused and going to appeal. Client does have disability and was advised by an O.T. to get raised work tops.
Am assuming that this is about supporting evidence, but was wondering if there was any unpublished case law out there anyone has come across? Not found anything esp. relevant so far in usual places.
Obvously such costs would be included in MPs expenses, but we are talking about the public here!
