Hi my son has to pay for the social care funding he receives and wondered if any other carers are in the same boat, as this seems to be an awful lot of money he has to pay out every 4 weeks? also if there is a help line that I can call or email to gain more information regarding this large payment and how I can check he is being charged correctly? Can anyone help?
Thanks R

Hi and welcome,Has he had a needs assessment completed by his local council? If not then he can refer himself for this, once this is done if they agree to support him, they will assess his finances to see how much if anything he needs to pay towards his care. It can be funded by direct payments, or partly at least.

Welcome to the community @RJP, I hope Poppy has been able to help here. Is there anything you would like clarifying?
I appreciate that this cannot be easy, do you get much support?
Also, are you claiming carers allowance? Here is more information to see if you would be entitled to this.
Please do let us know how you get on.0
