You will need to provide details of your income and outgoings. You must also include supporting documentation where required. Photocopies are acceptable - please do not send original documents.

You have a legal responsibility to inform us of any changes to your finances or household or if you move address, as it could affect your entitlement.

What happens next

We'll send you a letter to let you know of any changes to your allowance payments and when these will take effect. This is normally 28 days from the date of the letter.

If you wish to appeal the decision you can do so in writing within 28 days of receiving the decision letter by emailing childrensservices.complaints@liverpool.gov.uk or write to Children's Services Social Care Complaints Manager, Cunard Buildings, Liverpool, L3 1AH.
