"A council has been ordered to apologise after giving a near-blind man and his daughter just two weeks to pay a 60,000 bill sent to him in letters he could not read. Worcestershire County Council sent the man, named only as Mr C, multiple letters and invoices over two years, despite having carried out a care assessment noting he was visually impaired."
The Independent covers major issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and operates without paywalls, funded by donations. Donations allow continued reporting from the ground and enable journalists to interview both sides of stories. Worcestershire County Council sent a near-blind man, named only as Mr C, multiple letters and invoices over two years despite a care assessment noting visual impairment. His debt mounted to 60,000 and in November 2024 his daughter with lasting power of attorney was given two weeks to pay. The council initially offered a financial assessment in January 2023, then warned he would have to pay full costs when he did not reply.
