The Primary Support Reason (PSR) describes the main reason why the individual requires social care support i.e. the primary disability or impairment impacting on the individual’s quality of life and creating a need for support and assistive care. A person's PSR may change over time. The latest known PSR should be recorded against each event row in the submission except for carer events. Where the PSR is not yet determined, for example where requests or assessments do not progress to services, then ‘Unknown’ can be chosen. The PSR of ‘Social Support: Support to Carer’ should be recorded for any carer-related events in CLD submissions. If a service user is also supported by the local authority as a carer, event rows relating to support provided to the person as a carer should have a PSR of ‘Social Support: Support to Carer’. • Physical Support: Access & mobility only • Physical Support: Personal care support • Sensory Support: Support for visual impairment • Sensory Support: Support for hearing impairment • Sensory Support: Support for dual impairment • Support with Memory & Cognition • Learning Disability Support • Mental Health Support • Social Support: Substance misuse support • Social Support: Asylum seeker support • Social Support: Support for Social Isolation/Other • Social Support: Support to Carer • Unknown Data type: Defined list
