The respondent was obliged to consider all relevant evidence, not only a single occupational therapist report, and the foldaway ironing board and corner pantry were cost‑effective and necessary modifications; accordingly the appeal is allowed and the respondent must contribute a total of NZD 8,000 toward the kitchen modifications including moving the wall and providing the foldaway ironing board.
