taken the responsibility to look at evidences; the
                 allegations made against her son (physical
                 assault, letting his dog on the loose) have not
                 been proven. She said that on the 9th August in
                 court the Judge ordered Enfield Council to move
                 her son to a 2-bedroom flat but the Council
                 wants/plans to evict him instead. She said that
                 the Council has no grounds to apply for her son’s
                 eviction.
                 She said that her son has a one bedroom flat. She
                 said that he does not want to live there. She said
                 that he needs a 2-bedroom flat with the plan that
                 his cousin could stay with him to provide
                 emotional support. She said that her son has
                 everything he needs in the flat. She told me that
                 her son is very independent in activities of daily
                 living; his personal care is extremely good; he
                 cooks for himself, maintains the flat and takes
                 responsibility for his bills. She told me that he
                 has no financial difficulties/no debts.
                 She said that her son has a work history. In 2010
                 he was planning to set up a business in the
                 entertainment industry. He has also built
                 websites in relation to this. At present he is not
                 in employment. He is in receipt of Employment
                 Support Allowance but needs to make an
                 application for Personal Independent Payment.
                 I asked her if she thinks her son has a mental
                 illness; she told me that he suffers from stress
                 and anxiety due to issues with the neighbours but
                 does not think he has a mental illness. She said
                 that the judged looked at evidence and did not
                 grant a warrant in October 2018 for a mental
                 health act to take place at her son’s flat.
                 I asked Ms Cordell if she thinks her son could
                 benefit from support from the community team.
                 She said that he could do with some support but
                 "we should stop labelling him as being
                 delusional as he is not delusional”.
