Introduction
Your financial assessment
If you've had an adult social care assessment, and are eligible for care, we will ask you to have a financial assessment. This is used to calculate the maximum weekly amount you will have to pay for your care and support.
As a general guide, if your capital assets or savings are:
- £23,250 or less - you are likely to have to pay something towards the total cost of your care.
- more than £23,250 - you will not be eligible for financial help from the council until this is below £23,250. You will be required to pay for your own care.
This short animation provides an introduction to the financial assessment.
