How to ask for a homeless review and the time limit involved
You have 21 days to ask for a review.
These 21 days run from:
- the date you received our decision letter
- the date your legal representative (if you have one) received our decision letter
How to ask for a homeless review
You (or someone acting on your behalf) can:
- email us: homeless.intervention@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
- call us on 0300 300 4370
- write to us - Priory House, Monks Walk, Chicksands, Shefford, SG17 5TQ
- visit us - Grove View Health Hub, Court Drive, Dunstable, LU5 4JD
What we need to know
When you ask for a review, we need you to:
- clearly tell us you'd like a review
- tell us which decision (or decisions) you'd like us to reconsider
- keep a copy of your review request (or keep a record, if you asked for it in person or by phone)
Read more about what we need to know.
If you don't ask for a review within 21 days
You'll lose your right to review.
You can still ask us to accept a late review, but bear in mind:
- we'll need a good reason for the delay
- we don't have to accept a late review by law
If you don't receive our decision letter
If you don’t receive the decision letter, we can legally treat you as if you did receive it. This is because decisions are available for you (or someone on your behalf) to collect from our Dunstable office (view our Dunstable office address).
Ask us if you want to know whether this rule applies in your case (it depends on the type of decision you want us to review).
