This financial assessment only applies to care arranged by Gateshead Council.
You should only complete this form if you are waiting for a care assessment by the Adult Social Care team, or your care assessment is complete and you are eligible for support.
You must give full and accurate information.
If you give false information or withhold details to avoid paying for services, you may be assessed to pay the full cost of your care and support (either in your own home or a care home). Following this, if you do not pay for your care, this may lead to a prosecution.
