Funding
Some of the money you receive each week (your benefits), or money you have saved up, may have to be used to help pay for the things you need, or the services you receive.
You will be visited by someone from Knowsley’s Financial Assessment and Charging team, who will discuss your income with you and work out how much per week you will need to pay.
If you receive respite from the Shared Lives scheme, you will be expected to pay a charge towards your support. The amount will depend on your age.
This money MUST be given to your Shared Lives carer on your arrival for your short break. Knowsley Council Adult Social Care will pay the remainder of your support costs.
