To complete a financial assessment for care support in Lincolnshire, you will first need to agree to this assessment after your care needs assessment. This will help determine how much you will pay for your care and how much support you may receive.
Here's a summary of the main steps and requirements:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Agree to Financial Assessment | After your care needs assessment, you'll be asked if you want a financial assessment. |
| 2. Gather Required Documents | Prepare to provide detailed information about your assets (savings, property, investments), income (pensions, benefits), and essential expenses (mortgage, rent, council tax). |
| 3. Submit the Self-Assessment Form | Complete and return your financial assessment within 14 days. Include necessary supporting documents, but send photocopies, not originals. |
| 4. Await Review | Your submitted details will be reviewed, and you'll receive a letter confirming your contribution towards care costs. |
You can find more information and guidance on gathering the required documentation in the relevant section on the council's website. If you need help, you can reach out to the service for support. Get started with the process by visiting the financial assessment page.
