Adult Social Care Contributions Policy 2024 - 16. Variations to the Care and Support Plan

The care and support plan will outline the components of service/s and the cost of these services. Contributions will be calculated based on planned service provision and applied on a weekly basis. 

Variations to planned service will occur from time to time for a variety of reasons, such as:

• where an adult is unwell;
• where an adult is away visiting relatives and does not require a homecare service;
• where additional care support is required.

A reduction of the assessed weekly contribution will only be considered if there is a significant variation about the services, you are receiving when compared to those stated in your annual support plan. Evidence of these variations will need to be provided. We would not normally consider queries in relation to small adjustments as most people do not contribute the full cost.
