Regulation 8 Procedure for determining a charge in relation to person for whom the local authority provides or arranges non-residential care and supportI1
England and Wales
This regulation applies in relation to the charges for provision of care and support which does not consist of provision of accommodation in a care home.
When calculating the amount that A may be required to pay a local authority must adopt the procedure set out in paragraph (3).
A local authority must—
calculate the amount of the standard charge for the care and support provided or to be provided to the person;
disregard from that total the amount of any charges which are flat-rate charges;
apply the maximum weekly charge for non-residential care and support where the resulting amount would otherwise exceed it;
subject the amount calculated in accordance with this regulation to a determination of what it would be reasonably practicable for the person to pay in accordance with regulations 11 F1(relevant capital limit) and 12 (minimum income amount for a person being provided with non-residential care and support).
