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.
Why should you use the online financial assessment calculator tool?
Using the online financial assessment calculator tool can help with:
- giving you an early indication of how much care might cost
- understanding how much you may have to pay for care can help you to make an informed decision about the next steps. This may include making a formal request with our adult social care team for support
- organising how much you may pay towards the cost of your care early on will help to ensure you are prepared for the charges that may follow and avoid a build-up of costs
What happens next?
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.
What happens if your circumstances change
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.
