Another council faces court action over cuts to support

Another council faces court action over cuts to support: "In the latest cases, a disabled Lancashire woman and the parents of two disabled boys – Boy A and Boy D – are seeking judicial reviews of decisions made by Lancashire County Council.

The disabled woman is challenging cuts to adult social care and possible cuts to her own care package.

The council wants to raise the eligibility threshold for support from “moderate” to “substantial”, saving £2.5 million a year for the next two years; cut spending on personal budgets and home care by £12 million over three years; and increase revenue from charging by more than £5.5 million over four years."
