Ok, first things first. I'm disabled and familiar with the support packages offered by local authority, but I can't help feel this man is trying it on a tad here? He is given funding for specific activities in this case cinema visits, where he can take his personal assistants. Instead he squirreled the money away to fund accomodation for his 'Pa's' (not carers) for a trip of a lifetime to Florida. The authorities found out he had not been using the funding for what it was specifically provided and want the money back. His contract specifically says that he can not use this money other than for the specific activities it was awarded and the terms and conditions state that the money must be returned if he doesn't use it on those very specific activities.
Cue the DM style outrage and intervention from human rights lawyers....
I can't help feeling he is trying it on a bit here and knowingly trying to circumvent the rules. Funding Is so space that it seems unfair to wilfully misappropriate funds like this knowing full well they should be returned if they were not used on the specific activities the funding was granted for.
Is he not being a little disingenuous spinning this as a sob story?
