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?

Do not follow me, I don't know where I am going. -
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!

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,
