How are my finances assessed?
If you have been assessed as needing home care you are required to complete and sign a form that states your financial position in order for us to work out how much you can afford to pay.
This is done under the Fairer Charging Policy which is designed to make sure that you only pay what you can afford to.
A member of the Fairer Charging visiting team will meet with you to help you to complete this form. They will also help you claim any benefits you may be entitled to, if you wish them to.
The Payment towards non residential social care services leaflet provides information about the Fairer Charging Policy and how it affects you.
