My OH will soon have used his savings down to the threshold. Our SW is arranging a financial assessment, or means test. It was requested in February but they have not got round to it yet. Can anyone tell me what will happen at this assessment?
There will be a form for you to fill in if you have POA, and you will have to produce documented evidence of income, savings, expenditure etc. The nature of the form differs from LA to LA, but I suspect the basics will be the same.
Someone from the LA may come to see you instead - they'll let you know the procedure for you particular LA, but it would be advisable if you speak to them first and get a list of exactly what documents they will need to see.
Hope all goes well
