A partially-sighted man fell behind with his council tax payments after his authority repeatedly sent him letters in a print too small for him to read.

He had to repeatedly call Leicester City Council and request larger print versions.

The man said this led to him feeling stressed and missing payments, ending up £4,000 in arrears and incurring penalties and charges.

He complained to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGO), who decided the council were at fault and should have had a system which could cope with his needs.

Under the Equality Act, councils have a duty to make reasonable adjustments (or changes) to avoid putting people with disabilities at a substantial disadvantage.

The city council said it happened because the letters are sent out automatically but it has now put systems in place so this doesn't happen again to him or others.

It has also set up a payment plan with him to get back the £4,000.
