If you don’t want to complete the online form, contact us to arrange a telephone or in person assessment. If you have a social care co-ordinator, they can ask a benefits and assessments officer to visit you to complete a financial assessment.
If you have savings and / or capital of £23,250 or more, you will be asked to pay the full cost of providing the services you receive.
When you complete the online financial self-assessment, you will see an estimate of how much you may have to pay towards the cost of your care.
You may then choose to submit your financial self-assessment to our team. When you do this, a benefits and assessments officer will review and confirm what your weekly contribution towards your care will be. They will also help you to claim any welfare benefits that you may be entitled to.
If there is a change to your situation, you will need to complete a financial assessment to let us know. You can do this using the online financial self-assessment or request an assessment with one of our team by contacting us. This may be the second time you do this if your circumstances have changed. Our team will then review your new financial assessment and your welfare benefits entitlement.
