Your information is used to contact you and progress your request. If you prefer not to use the Social Care Portal, you can call 0300 111 8010 and we will complete the assessment with you by phone. Accounts that are not completed are deactivated after 28 days, and online financial assessments are deleted after 90 days if not finished, or after 12 months if submitted for an indicative charge but you do not proceed.
