We have heard from many of our families who want to try and understand what disability related expenditure they could be putting down for their family member who receives care and support.
We have heard from Essex County Council they don’t have a set list of allowable disability related expenditure as it is based on the individual person.
We have heard from social workers that what they need to see is clear evidence as to why the expenditure is disability related.
We are sure you will agree this is incredibly confusing and frustrating for disabled people and their families.
We are excited to bring you this Webinar about Disability-Related Expenditure in Essex.
Do you feel you are paying too much in care charges? Want to find ways to potentially reduce your bill?
Access for Social Care are joining us for a free webinar designed specifically for residents of Essex, where you’ll learn how to put forward Disability-Related Expenditure (DRE) which could reduce your contribution to care costs. We will cover a range of expenses that may qualify as DRE, including things like:
🔳Specialist equipment
🔳Extra heating costs
