Complete a financial assessment for care costs
If you need care and support, you might have to pay towards the cost. To find out how much, you will need to fill in a financial assessment online. You do not need to give your name, and it won’t be sent to the council unless you choose to.
The assessment gives you an idea of the most you might have to pay for care arranged by Wirral Council. If you choose a cheaper type of care, you’ll pay less.
Sometimes, the council may ask you to do a financial assessment. This could happen if your needs or money situation changes.
You might be asked to show proof of your income and spending, for example, bank statements. Even if you do the assessment online, a council worker might still need to visit you.
If you do not already get care from Wirral Council, you will need to do two things:
- Fill in a financial assessment
- Complete an assessment to help us decide what help you need
We cannot look at your financial assessment until we understand what kind of help you need.
The video below explains how the financial assessment works.
