NATIONAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES, ENGLAND

These Regulations make provision for additional payments to be made so that a person who has been assessed as needing residential accommodation can choose to live in accommodation which is more expensive than the local authority would usually pay for someone with that person’s assessed needs. Under these Regulations the additional payments may be made by a third party, including a liable relative who is not making payments to maintain the resident. In certain circumstances, that is when the twelve weeks property disregard applies or when a deferred payment agreement is in place, the resident himself may also contribute any or all of the additional payments.
