Financial assessment reviews

There are two types of financial assessment review that the council will initiate.

Annual review

We will recalculate your charge each April in line with the increases to state pension, state benefits, inflation and the allowance for basic living costs. Any other income included in the financial assessment will have an inflationary increase applied. Details of your new contribution will be sent to you with a breakdown of how your contribution has been calculated.

You will be given the opportunity to tell us if you feel the financial assessment is incorrect.

Biannual review

Every two years we will complete a full review of your financial assessment. This is done to ensure our information is as up to date as possible. We will write to you to request updated information on your financial affairs. The biannual review is completed in addition to the annual review each April.
