Homelessness reviews
Under homelessness legislation you have the right to request a review of the decision made about your homelessness application if you feel it is incorrect.
You can also request a review of the decision if you have been accepted as having priority need and have been offered a property, which you feel, is unsuitable for your needs.
To request a review, you must put into writing the reasons why you feel the decision is incorrect. You should also include any additional information or changes in your circumstances, which could affect the outcome of your application.
Where appropriate, please send any new documents in support of your request for a review, for example, from your doctor, if you have not sent them before.
Your letter and any supporting documentation should be sent to your advisor at Crompton House. The review will be carried out by the Housing Advice and Support Services Manager or another Senior Officer who was not involved in making the original decision.
You will be sent a letter advising you of the outcome of your review within 56 days.
Should your review be unsuccessful in changing the decision, you have the right to appeal to a county court within 21 days of receiving your letter. You should seek independent legal advice from a solicitor.
