Review of contributions towards adult social care support

• Align our client contributions with the Department of Health's minimum income guarantee rate
• Disability Related Expenditure changed from many different rates to two rates (higher and lower)
• An annual recalculation of a person's weekly, non-residential contribution
• Introducing administration and arrangement fees for self-funding residents living in the community
• Introduce an extra allowance for home insurance (buildings only) for owner-occupiers
• Introduce a contribution for Wellbeing Support in extra care accommodation
• Development of an online contribution calculator and portal for residents
• Introducing a levy for setting up and managing Deferred Payments Agreements. This is for residents who are:
  • assessed as self-funding have secondary properties
  • in supported housing accommodation

These are proposals only. Before we make any changes, we want you to tell us what you think of the proposed changes.
