The local authority will carry out a financial assessment when your circumstances change and if you need to pay a contribution towards your care costs (the direct payments is your care costs) they will let you know and start sending you a bill.

Thank you for your reply.

I was told that they don't take your income into account but if you have savings of £16000 and a own your own home then it gets taken into account.
