# SOCIAL CARE ASSESSMENT DECISION APPEAL
Date: 9 September 2038
Parties: Amina Rahman of 17 Station Road, York YO10 4AB; represented by her daughter Leila Rahman; and York Council Adult Social Care
## 1. Addressee and requested review
To: Adult Social Care Review and Complaints Team, York Council. Subject: review of the 22 August 2038 care-plan decision. Please treat this as a request under your current review and complaints procedure and tell us which route and form apply; it is not an assumption that a particular appeal right exists.
## 2. Needs and chronology
Amina received 14 hours weekly from 1 February 2038 after an assessment of washing, dressing, safe transfers, shopping and meal preparation. On 22 August the council reduced this to 8 hours without identifying a change in those outcomes. Since 1 September she has missed meals twice and needed Leila's unplanned help with transfers.
## 3. Legal and procedural basis
Please reconsider the needs assessment and care plan consistently with the Care Act 2014 assessment and eligibility framework and current statutory guidance. Eligibility is needs-led rather than a diagnosis or budget label; we ask the council to identify the evidence and decision-maker's reasons, without asserting that Amina automatically qualifies for a particular package.
## 4. Evidence and interim safety
Enclosed are the 22 August decision, Amina's consent, her GP medication summary, an occupational-therapy note dated 30 August, a seven-day needs diary, and Leila's transfer log. Pending review, reinstate 14 hours or provide a safe interim plan, and confirm any financial assessment separately; Leila also asks how to request a carer's assessment.
## 5. Outcome and signature
Please acknowledge by 14 September 2038, arrange a senior reassessment or explain the current review stage, and give a written outcome by 7 October. Any judicial-review or other challenge has strict, changing rules and deadlines, so we will obtain advice and check the current route rather than treating this letter as proceedings. Signed with Amina's consent by Leila Rahman, 9 September 2038.
