Non-Disclosure Of Financial Information
8.1
An adult has the right to choose not to disclose their financial circumstances, for example where they can afford to and will continue to be able to afford to pay any charges due for care and support. If the adult chooses to exercise this right, then they will be required to pay the full cost of their care and support at the time the service is delivered.
8.2
If the adult lacks capacity and their representative fails to engage in the Financial Assessment process, then the Council will require the representative to pay the care costs in full.
8.3
If the Council is concerned that the representative is not acting in the adult’s best interests, then the Council will consider following the Adult Safeguarding process.
