1. Following financial assessments for adult social care eligibility - on how many occasions did the council judge there had been a deliberate deprivation of assets by the person being assessed? Please provide your answer broken down by the following years.
2019/2020
2020/2021
2021/2022
2022/2023
2023/2024
The year should correspond with the date the financial assessment was made.
2. Over the past five years, in how many cases did the council successfully recover monies or capital having concluded there had been a deliberate deprivation of assets? Again, can you break this down by the following financial years:
2019/2020
2020/2021
2021/2022
2022/2023
2023/2024
The year should correspond with the date the monies or capital was successfully recovered.
3. For each of the last five years, what is the overall sum (£) in both monies and capital the council has recovered through identifying deliberately deprived assets? Again, can you break this down by the following financial years:
2019/2020
2020/2021
2201/2022
2022/2023
2023/2024
- For example, if the council had assessed an elderly person had transferred £10,000 to a family member before their financial assessment and that transaction had been judged as a deprivation of assets (and the family's appeal was not successful) - the amount you would enter for this individual would be £10,000. A common parlance way of wording this would be to say how much was "recovered" by the council in deprivation of assets cases, in total, by financial year.
