At My Care Consultant we continue to see examples where the correct procedures to determine eligibility for Local Authority funded social care haven’t been properly followed or implemented. So we have designed this guide to be a useful starting point for those in need of care who may be eligible for some level of local authority financial support, with the aim of helping them understand what should happen and what to do if it doesn’t.

Currently available exclusively to Care Box subscribers, it has been designed to strike a careful balance between informing while not overwhelming readers. It is full of practical information and tips to help secure a fair outcome, to help consumers know what to expect from both a needs assessment and a financial assessment, and how best to prepare for both.

The version on this page is a sample version to let non-subscribers and free-trial members get a good idea of what the guide contains. Please note, it has certain sections of text deliberately blurred out and some blank spaces. Care Box subscribers can access the full guide here.

A Care Box monthly subscription is just £14.99 and can be cancelled at any time! Find out more about becoming a Care Box member here.
