Why Financial Support Matters
Navigating the Complex Landscape of Care Finance

The adjustment from hospital to home is rarely just a medical one. It often brings with it a radical change in household income, new care costs and a maze of welfare benefits that can seem overwhelming in the absence of the right support. 

We want to help you approach financial difficulties and any gaps in funding with the utmost awareness. Our specialist network can assist you with pre- and post-settlement financial planning, pension loss advice, appropriate welfare benefits and more.

A Clear 3-Step Process

1

Initial conversation

We begin with an open conversation. This involves listening to your situation in as much detail as you would like and asking some questions to get a sense of how we can help. 

2

Personalised Plan

After the initial call, we speak to our specialist colleagues and expert contacts to  decide the best information and avenues to offer to you. 

3

Follow-up conversation

We usually follow up with another call, which might be us advising you or passing you on to an expert contact from our trusted network – this might be a solicitor, a therapist or a financial advisor, for example.

Not Sure? Let's Talk First

Recovery is about more than physical rehabilitation. Our team provides compassionate support throughout your journey. 

Understanding Your Entitlements

The UK welfare system is designed to support individuals with disabilities and their carers, but the application process can be daunting. Attendance Allowance, for example, is a tax-free benefit for people aged 65 or over who need help with personal care due to a physical or mental disability. It is not means-tested, meaning your savings and income do not affect your eligibility, but the level of care you require does. In contrast, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is for those aged 16 to 64 and is assessed based on your ability to carry out daily living and mobility activities.

Carer’s Allowance is a vital support for family members who provide substantial care. To qualify, you must care for someone for at least 35 hours a week and meet specific earnings criteria. However, it is also important to understand that receiving Carer’s Allowance can sometimes affect the benefits of the person you care for, so careful planning is required. Our specialists can help you navigate these interactions and ensure that your family’s overall benefit position is maximized.

Beyond national benefits, local authority funding is often means-tested and varies significantly by council. This funding can cover essential care services, including home care, respite breaks, and equipment. Understanding how to approach a social care assessment and how to present your needs effectively is crucial. We work with families to prepare for these assessments, ensuring that your voice is heard and your needs are clearly communicated to the local authority.
