Adult Social Care Contributions Policy 2024 - 18. Change in circumstances

The adult or their carer/representative must inform the Financial Assessment and Charging Team, if there is any change in their circumstances regarding their finances which include income and capital (this includes any state benefit awards including universal credit award), as this may result in an adjustment to contribution that is required. It is important that you specify the date the change is effective from. 

Any additional contributions identified in a reassessment of charges will be backdated to the date of the change in the circumstances. 

Adults’ contributions will be adjusted each year and the effective date will be in line with Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and HM Revenue and Customs changes.
