Who can get Care Act assessment?

Adult social care is not a public fund. A needs assessment is not a benefit and not a set weekly amount. It is relevant where a disabled adult has no recourse to public funds.

  • Paid by Your council’s adult social care.
  • The catalogue looks for: No recourse to public funds.
  • The catalogue looks for: A disability or long-term condition was ticked.
  • The catalogue looks for: You may have care and support needs.
  • This is not a decision. The department or the council decides.
