Request

Have you in the past or, do you currently, allow as eligible for Housing Benefit or Universal Credit the “OKEachDay” service provided by:
Alertacall Ltd
45 Crescent Road
Windermere
LA23 1BL

The OKEachDay service requires that a tenant/resident presses a button each day before an agreed time to check that the tenant/resident is okay.

If you do allow OKEachDay, can you tell me the date of that decision and why?
If you do not allow OKEachDay, can you tell me the date of that decision and why?

Response

Previously we have treated this charge as ineligible for Housing Benefit. We do not make decision regarding Universal Credit. There is no set date when we made this decision, but it is treated the same as similar Home Alarm service charges.
