Third party top-up

Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

If you are moving into a care home funded by the council, and you want to move into a home that costs more than the council believes is necessary to meet your needs, you will be able to move there if someone (a 'third party') agrees to pay the difference. The third party may be a relative, friend or charity, and they will need to have a contract with the council confirming the arrangement.
