Challenging Local Authority

You can challenge a local authority or council’s decision to place you on a waiting list if you think there has been a mistake or relevant information had not been taken into account. You could ask for a review of their decision if;

• You are told you are not allowed on the list
• You disagree with the priority level you have been given
• Your medical status was not taken into account
• The other members of your household were not taken into account
• Your connection to the local area was not considered

Challenging these decisions may result in it being changed.

Another way you can challenge the local authority is if you have applied for housing and there is a delay in informing you whether you are eligible or not for accommodation, as a result, you may be able to apply for Judicial Review.

If this is successful then any delays made by the council or local authority will be considered illegal and you will be entitled to claim compensation from them.
