Edinburgh's most vulnerable residents have missed out on more than £2 million in social care support in the last year after vital funding was clawed back by the council.
Self directed support (SDS) payments are made to people who have been assessed as having critical social care needs.
Under the scheme, money is given directly to eligible people, of which there are around 1,400 in the capital, to empower them with more control over the type of care they receive.
