Ms Heavey highlighted the example of citizens of an EU state who were assessed as not being eligible but, once the lawyers got involved, that position was then reassessed. On the ground, while this may not be working, in practice such persons would be supported in that situation, although they need to go down the legal route to get that support. Does that speak to a need to have proper assessment and expertise at a decision-making level?
