Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

Mr I’s complaint against Kirklees is partly upheld, but there is a part of the complaint I do not agree with. To put matters right, for the part that is upheld, Kirklees should pay Mr I £500 for the significant distress and inconvenience caused.

My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below.

Complaint summary

Mr I has complained about the process Kirklees undertook in reassessing his eligibility for ill health benefits as at November 2008, and the basis for the Independent Registered Medical Practitioner’s (IRMP’s) opinion.
