Non-residential Care Costs and Charging Thresholds
You can find the charges for Care and Support charges (including Self-Directed Support) in the Table of Charges leaflet.
Charging Thresholds
There is a level of weekly income below which someone cannot be asked to pay care charges. These are known as Charging Thresholds. If your assessable weekly income is less than your charging threshold figure you should not be charged for a financially assessed service.
If your assessable weekly income is more than your charging threshold figure you may be charged for a service.
70% of the difference between a person’s (or a couple’s) assessed income and the charging threshold will be the maximum charge for the chargeable services
