How is the Financial Assessment carried out for couples?
Community care In the case of couples, the financial situation of both individuals will be taken into account when carrying out a Financial Assessment. The assessed charge will be halved and the resulting figure charged to the client. This is stated in the Fairer Charging Policy. Also this will enable the Financial Assessment Officers to undertake a full welfare benefits check. Respite/residential/nursing In this case the financial situation of the client going into respite/residential/nursing care will need to be provided. The spouse/partner staying at home does not need to provide their financial information, but the Financial Assessment Officers will be unable to make sure the spouse/partner is financially cared for in the community.
