Hi Sue, your right, check out Direction 29(f)(ii)relates to a scenario where client reaches £1500 maximum for a CL (Direction 18) and can't get a CL on that basis, in that instance DM 'has'(stop laughing)to consider whether a CCG can be awarded for 'living expenses' if client is eligible for a CCG i.e. in receipt of a qualifying benefit and satisfies one or more of the qualifying criteria for Direction 4.
E.g. they apply for a CL for £50 for living expenses, there current CL wotsit is £1479, then DM has to consider whether the monies over £1500 can be treated as a CCG.
Hope the above makes sense, my mind is on a go slow.
