Cabinet resolved to:
(i) Agree that the Council consults on proposed revisions to the Care and Support Charging Policy in the following areas where discretion can be applied:
· The level of the disability related expenditure (DRE) disregard automatically applied to the financial assessment;
· The principle of charging for care and support services provided to carers who meet the eligibility criteria for services in their own right.
(ii) Note that a further report shall be presented to the Cabinet in February 2016 advising on the outcome of the public consultation and, if appropriate, presenting a revised draft Care and Support Charging Policy for approval.
