Old Age Benefits Claimant Wins Over Welfare Dept
William Daniel Allen 67 wins two year legal battle for old age assistance. Superior Court Judge Lawrence Howard ruled the Arizona Department of Public Welfare exceeded its jurisdiction and abused its discretion in denying benefits because he is half owner of a cottage where he lives. The ruling set aside the denial and ordered reconsideration. Allen, aided by the Legal Aid Society, claimed the house value was within legal limits for benefits. He resided with his elderly sister, whom he co-owns the cottage with.
