What these charges are

We provide community-based social care services for adults. We do this by working with the Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership.

If you’re assessed as eligible for care, you may have to pay something towards that care.

The amount you pay, if anything, depends on your income and how much you have in savings, if you have any. We also consider any costs that you may have for disability-related expenditure.

Tell us about your disability-related expenditure

You should tell us about any disability-related expenditure so we can consider it during your financial assessment.

Before telling us, make sure you have:

  • details of your expenditure
  • proof of the amount you pay, such as receipts, invoices, or the last 3 months bank statements.

Here's an example of what a completed DRE form looks like so you know what to expect.

You can tell us about your disability-related expenditure online, by email, or by post.

Tell us by email or post

Fill in the form and send it to us, along with proof of the amount you pay, by email or post:

After a financial assessment

After a financial assessment, we'll send you:

  • details about how much you'll need to pay each week
  • a full explanation of the calculation
  • information about how to pay the contribution.
