After my adult daughter assessment we were asked to complete a financial assessment which we did. The conclusion of this is that my daughter has to pay £15.00 plus. But this is calculated with a Minimum Income Guarantee figure. Can you advise how this is calculated?

Thank you for this whistles. It is the correct basic information but it doesn't tally with the MIG that the LA have arrived at. I am waiting for their specific working out. It is confusing!0

Hello
The local authority circular for charging gives further details about how MIG is calculated:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/social-care-charging-for-local-authorities-2018-to-2019
Also See the Care Act Statutory Guidance Chapter 8 and annex C
I am happy to work through the calculations with you to check the MIG is correct if you email me details to helpline@scope.org.uk
Best Wishes,
