Many people who rely on social care are disabled with social security benefits as their only source of income.
How does the GCHSCP justify a 50% taper uplift when most social security benefits were only uprated in April by consumer price index inflation of 10.1%?
Before the charging policy change, they paid charges of £39.74 per week and had a disposable income after the 50% taper of £43.60. From April, with a 75% taper, they can be charged up to £65.41 each week. But that person wouldn’t pay any more because the two hours care only costs £39.74. What consideration did the GCHSCP give to the impact its new charging policy would have on people with disabilities in Glasgow? Earlier this year 5,600 service users were invited to participate in a survey along with third sector organisations.The GCHSCP notes in its equality impact assessment of 20 March 2023 that: “People with disabilities felt that the charging policy was unfair due to their higher cost of living.
Here’s the big problem in Glasgow – and it’s no secret – there’s no formal application process to apply for DRE to be considered. DRE are the extra living costs that can arise from disabilities.
