                    Dear Sir/Madam



                                           Re: Mr Simon Cordell - JH 65 38 11 D


                    My name is Shola Ibrahim, and I am the support worker for the above who was referred to
                    our service by the Estate Officer as someone who may benefit from ongoing support
                    regarding maintenance of his tenancy.

                    I have attached a copy of a signed letter of consent allowing you to discuss with me Mr
                    Cordell’s benefit details.


                    Mr has a low level of literacy which means that he has difficulty in dealing with his written
                    mail and following up on any action necessary. In the past, this has resulted in the
                    curtailment of benefits, rent arrears and also additional charges being applied to utility
                    accounts.




                    During the period 26/12/06 - 27/03/07, Mr Cordell encountered particular difficulties
                    associated with his literacy when benefits were stopped, and he had to rely on family and
                    friends to supply him with food (a letter from Simon's mother is enclosed).


                    Mr  Cordell  was  contacted  by  the  Income  Support  Department  to  furnish  them  with
                    original documentation in order to expedite a claim. He was accompanied to Enfield
                    Jobcentre Plus, where he was handed an addressed envelope and instructed to post
