Details

Social Care Charging is a guide to charges for care under the Care Act 2014. The book offers detailed and practical advice to assist anyone who needs to understand the complexities of the law and guidance surrounding paying for care, including deferred payment agreements, when houses or assets are disregarded, deprivation of assets and top-ups. It sets out many of the scenarios commonly arising around charging, and answers key questions, including:

  • Who needs to be assessed?
  • How are financial assessments conducted?
  • What capital is included and what capital is subject to disregards?
  • What income is included and what income is subject to disregards?
  • What is the standard for deprivation of assets?
  • When can a top-up be paid for care under the Care and Support (Choice of Accommodation) Regulations 2014?
  • When does a person have an entitlement to a deferred payment agreement and when does a local authority have discretion to offer one?
  • What is the process for recovering debts owed under the Care Act 2014?

All the essential statutes and regulations are included in the Appendices for easy reference.
