Very good decision obtained by my colleague Graham Summers - see CDLA/509/2009.

Decision is that where local authority funding is sufficient to meet "hotel costs" in a nursing home, then not a hospital inpatient and entitled to mobility component

Unfortunately decision is not on the UT site. If administrator can contact us we will arrange to send to rightsnet to upload.

Nice bit of case law, some of the assumptions and reasoning may be quite useful in something I am currently looking at.

Andy, would either you or Graham be able to discuss this case with me via email? I want to check whether the SoS used a certain line of argument in their case.

Hi AGodfrey

If you post up your email address, I will ask Graham to contact you.
