The Council works out your contribution towards the cost of your support depending on your income and savings:

• If you have more than £23,250 savings or capital (excluding the value of your main home) you will be asked to contribute the total cost of your support.
• If you have less than £23,250 savings or capital the Council will need to financially assess you to work out how much, if anything, you should contribute towards your support. You will pay the ‘assessed contribution”. This will be the lesser amount of the cost of your support or the maximum you are assessed as being able to contribute. If you don’t want to tell the Council about your finances, you can opt to pay the full cost of your support.
• If you have a low income, you may qualify for a free service
