    Report summary

    Garry MILLS, aged 46, died on 6 September 2021 after experiencing considerable anxiety and stress while subject to a financial restraint order limiting his and his family’s weekly living expenses to £250. The inquest concluded that he took his own life while suffering from the effects of stress and anxiety. The principal concern was that the £250 weekly figure had not been reviewed since 2009 despite increases in living costs, with the report stating that this significantly affected the mental health and wellbeing of people subject to restraint orders and their dependants.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to review the CPS minimum weekly figure for reasonable living expenses

    Wider context from the report

    “The sum of £250.00 per week has not been varied since 2009, despite considerable upward movement in the cost of living during the ensuing 17 years. Evidence heard at the Inquest was that no review of this figure has occurred since 2009. In Mr. MILLS’ case, he and his five dependants (his wife and four children) were to meet their reasonable living expenses from £250.00 per week, in part supplemented by Universal Credit payments. I am concerned that the figure used by the CPS to set the minimum per week figure for reasonable living expenses (£250.00) and which is initially imposed in ex parte proceedings has not been reviewed since 2009. The almost universal use of this figure, unadjusted for inflation or broader cost of living increases, on the subject of the Restraint Order and their dependants, significantly impacts on their mental health and wellbeing which gives rise to a risk of death. ”
