Could anyone please specify specifically what the part of the council finacial review form 'home and other expenditure' includes.
What does 'home' include and what does 'other expenditure ' include. Thank you

Hi,Here's the guide again but do remember that all local councils have their own criteria and what may apply to one council, might not apply to another. https://www.real.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Reals-guidance-on-disability-related-expenditure-12-April-2017-PDF.pdf
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hi thanks for sending the guide. But it relates to DRE not ' home and other expenditure'. DRE is not included in this.
Does anyone know what it includes specifically. Noone seems to know? -
I can't find anything in general, other than for a few different local councils. This is because all local councils have their own criteria and rules.

I havery telephoned a few people but just get passed around. There must be somebody that knows or else the council can just put anything they like. My finacial review has been done so incorrectly so far that I do not trust them

Yes, i remember your previous threads regarding this. Unfortunately as advised because all councils have their own criteria, there's no specific guidance available.

Hi Tina, did I talk to you before re this?
I recently had to start paying towards my care.
Tell me what they are asking for? If not DRE I don't know what to say. xxx

Hi it's in the letter that they send to you. It says home and other expenditure.
I wanted to know what they defined as 'home' and 'other" officially. -
Could it be the extra costs it takes to live with a disability?
ie showering
laundry
heating
When we were stumped and fed up of phonecalls not getting us anywhere, I demanded a financial bod come out to see us at home., to explain their charges. I had to make a nuisance of myself to get this.
They said someone would come out in 2weeks, as they were busy.
I made notes of names and what was said back then, so I rang after the 2 weeks was up.
I got the same head of section and reminded him of my calls. He said something which annoyed me, but \I stuck to my guns.
He said `I`ve slept since then. You`ll have to remind me again`. I did so and got that home visit I wanted.
I bet he was surprised to hear from me again. We need to keep on at them...in the politest possible way of course!!!

Yes good on you. Keep them in their toes lol. I think those are Disability Related Costs though.
