Changes in your circumstances

If your circumstances change following a financial assessment, you must contact us as soon as possible.  For example, if your living arrangements change, or your savings/capital or benefits change, this may affect your contribution and you may need a financial reassessment.  Not telling us of a change in your circumstances could result in additional charges being backdated, and you could end up with a large bill, or possible funding assistance towards the cost of your care from us may be overlooked.

We will reassess your contribution towards your services in April each year to take account of annual increases in benefits, private pensions, and Basic Living Allowance/Personal Allowance. This is known as a financial reassessment. 

Your contribution may go up or down as a result of a reassessment.
