A 75-year old woman campaigning to stop Gloucestershire Council increasing care charges has won the right to a full high court hearing of her case.
Gwynneth Jeffries was one of almost 2,000 people told in March that the amount they would have to pay for home care services would be increased from £2 a week to £17.
Her lawyers argued at the high court last week that the council failed in its duty to consult users about the increase which they also allege amounts to "ageism".
