Financial assessment
- Thread starter zoob
- Start date
At no time have I ever been asked for my personal financial information and I would have refused to provide it if they had asked.
The only time there may possibly be a case I think would be if you shared accommodation and bank accounts with your relative.

Not even then necessarily.
I have a joint bank account with my husband and the FA obviously saw that statement but nothing else that was mine.
I didn't know SS's did financial assessments-I thought it should be done by the LA. When the LA did Pete's he did ask if he could do mine. I nicely declined

SS is Social Services which is a Department of the LA (Local Authority).
SS should not be confused with DHSS (Dept of Health and Social Security) - a previous name for DWP (Dept of Work and Pensions)
No wonder we are confused!
While on the subject do Local Authorities reassess a person with dementia recieiving care every year. My mother has been in a nursing home for 16 months and we have heard nothing?

In my case the SS arranged the financial assessment with the Financial Advisor who then passed on the details to the financial team at the LA. All are working for Local government.
Copsham, I have a statement of my husbands contributions for the coming financial year every March. I just have to write and tell them if their calculations on the statement regarding his income via pensions are incorrect.
I believe some people have to fill in a statement each time but my LA seem to know my husband's future earnings before I do!

I believe it depends on your own circumstances, such as social services stepping in to pay care costs after the NHS have refused/or withdrawn Fully Funded Care.
They will tell you that you need to fill out a SS6 financial disclosure form and if not completed people are deemed non disclosure, and therefore considered to not wish to disclose their finances and manage their own care funding independently.
Not sure what happens then. hopefully someone else may have some advice/ experience of this.

This has no bearing on Zoob's query as she is not the one wanting funding.
It is her mother.Therefore, Zoob's financial affairs have nothing to do with the the SS.
My MIL was assessed once a year in the care home to ensure it was meeting her needs. This was sometimes late, but if your mum is 4 months overdue, I would contact them if you want an assessment.
I'm sorry. I thought Copsham was talking about a financial annual assessment rather than a care one.
My husband no longer has an SW nor has an annual care assessment. He has been in a nursing home for nearly 3 years.
