LOCAL AUTHORITY FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT UPDATE

The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman investigates and publishes a significant number of cases, where complaints have been made about social care financial assessments. Whilst they do not create precedents, they shine a light on front line decisions and are useful for understanding local authority positions and advising clients. This session will cover:

• Is a severance of joint tenancy a deliberate deprivation?
• Is placing asset into trust for peace of mind a deliberate deprivation?
• Can the local authority treat all gifts as a deliberate deprivation?
• Can a professional Deputy’s costs be disregarded?
• Unfair top up fees
