Disability-related expenses
If you receive disability-related expenditure (DRE) and you have any extra spending because of your disability or being frail, we may be able to include the expenditure in your financial assessment.
We will need to ask you how these extra costs relate to your disability or being frail, and will ask for proof of your spending on these items in the form of receipts, bills and invoices covering a 3-month consecutive period.
The government's care and support statutory guidance (Annex C) gives details of expenses and costs a local authority should consider when determining disability-related expenditure.
