New family carer resource – Disability Related Expenditure (DRE)
Families are telling us that the costs that their relatives incur due to their disability are increasing. Use this resource to make sure that these costs are being considered when your Local Authority calculate how much your relative should contribute towards their care and support.
If you feel that your relative’s disability related costs have increased you can request a disability related expenditure assessment to update these costs using the template letter included in this resource.
