Regulation 25 Procedure for determining the level of contribution or reimbursement where financial assessment not carried outI1

Where regulation 7(1)(b) or (c) of the Financial Assessment Regulations applies (circumstances in which there is no duty to carry out a financial assessment) a local authority must determine that it is reasonably practicable for B to contribute by way of contribution or reimbursement an amount equal to the reasonable cost of securing the care and support in respect of which the payments are made.

Where direct payments are made or are to be made to meet B’s needs for non-residential care and support, the requirement in paragraph (1) is subject to the maximum weekly contribution or reimbursement in relation to non-residential services imposed by regulation 22.
