A MUM got \u00a3800 free cash after a council blunder left her feeling distressed.<\/p>\n
The North London woman, who has been named Mrs X, claims her daughter's school attendance dramatically dropped after local officials failed to help with mental health support.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The schoolgirl, known only as "D", was supposed to have an education, health, and care plan (EHCP) provided by Harrow Council (HC).<\/p>\n
In the plan, it should set out what D's school would need to do to ensure her special needs requirements are met.<\/p>\n
A report found that the local authority's failure to carry out the legal requirement meant both mother and daughter suffered "distress and frustration".<\/p>\n
Mrs X told investigators she was forced to take time off work to care for her "distraught child" and chase HC at the same time.<\/p>\n
