Hi IfinDone
This is a community care matter rather than a welfare benefits matter and so we are unable to help with this sorry. This is because we are experts in the welfare benefits system only.

Yes it is completely legal if you feel they are asking for too much of a contribution from yourself towards the cost of your care package you can ask for a reassessment.
