To help manage the overall demand for assessments, local authorities may conduct needs and financial assessments of self-funders (newly captured for the means test or seeking to access the cap) where appropriate from April 2023 onwards (6 months in advance of 'go live'). Local authorities have discretion to determine when (following April 2023) and for whom assessments are conducted early.
