"Support for a vulnerable individual"

About: Adult Mental Health Services - Community (County) / Rushcliffe Local Mental Health Team (LMHT)

(as other),

I work for a charity that supports individuals who are homeless or who are vulnerably housed. My client receives support from the Rushcliffe Mental Health Team (RMHT).

I needed supporting evidence for a social security benefit appeal. The information I needed was complex and the response would certainly be time-consuming.

I received a timely response from RMHT given the nature of the enquiry.

Staff at RMHT realised that the information I required was urgent and hand delivered correspondence such that I could submit the evidence in time. 

Staff were careful to keep me updated with events and took time out of an undoubtedly busy day to ensure that I received the relevant correspondence.

An obviously incorrect decision has been overturned without the need for my client to attend an appeal hearing because RMHT took a a serious interest in the issue and in our client's best interests.

Dear AWV1961

Thank you for your positive feedback regarding Rushcliffe LMHT, it is very welcome to read such nice feedback. It’s also great to hear the person you and Rushcliffe LMHT are supporting did not experience any delays in receiving their benefit or must attend an appeal, which can have a detrimental impact on a person’s health.

I have no doubt the Team Leader will share this feedback with the rest of his team and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the work you are doing for vulnerable people in these difficult times.

Many thanks

Michael Taylor

Service Manager
