Lucy Chapman, instructed by the Royal College of Nursing – Company, successfully defended a nurse working as a benefits assessor, accused of dishonestly completing a report on a claimant’s disability so he would not receive benefits, failing to undertake a proper assessment and inaccurately recording findings, including wholesale fabrication of a detailed physical examination.
After a sensitive and effective cross examination of the vulnerable witness claimant and another eye witness present at the time of the assessment, Lucy was able to utilise her knowledge of the applicable regulations, law and procedure relating to disability benefits and have the 37 charges against her client not proven.
