Eligible care and support needs
Plain English definition
From:
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
The needs you have for care and support that your council is required by law to meet. Under the Care Act 2014, councils no longer decide for themselves what type of needs they will meet, and now have to follow the new national minimum eligibility threshold. You are likely to have 'eligible needs' if you need a lot of help to do things like washing yourself, getting dressed, getting in and out of bed, and keeping your home safe.
