kezo, LA? Are you meaning Local Authority or should that have been PA. Either way, it does not currently effect me, for reasons that I do not want to disclose on here but may have done and could affect many others with PA’s
At the moment I am busy fighting with my LA who are on average taking 5 times the budget for handling peoples care, as they are giving Self-Directed Support recipients who try to employ their own PA’s, according to their own FOI figures. Which is illegal action and contrary to the SDS 2013 (Scotland) Act. This is now with the Ombudsman at the complaint review stage before it can go to a lawyer and into the public domain.
LA’s share the same powerful bullying tactics as Motability unfortunately, but unlike Motability, LA’s have to comply with the Law.
