We ask for a contribution from service users to make sure that
there are enough resources available to meet people’s needs. We
want to make the limited social care resources go further and
ensure they are distributed fairly.
Service users undergo a financial assessment to understand the
contribution they are required to make.

leaflet Financial Assessment (PDF, 694kb)
People whose sole income is income support, job seekers
allowance or guaranteed pension credit do not pay a charge under
either the current or proposed systems.
Consultation
We are proposing to change the way in which we calculate
contributions for non-residential social care support and to limit
the City of London Corporation’s contribution to the cost of
new residential placements for older people.
Options have been recommended to the Corporation Committee.
Download these options and the reasons for the changes in the
leaflet Social Care Contributions Consultation (PDF,
897kb).
We want to know your opinion on these proposed
changes. Please read the leaflet and then download and
complete
the questionnaire (PDF, 900kb)
