I was wondering if i could ask what problems the closure of the ILF to new claiments has had with regards SW's helping with packages for clients Independent Living as opposed to just basic care packages.
Also how do you see the situation panning out for current recipients of ILF if it does close permanently in 2015.
I've noticed the report on the revised code of ethics & the already almost untenable workload of SW's, do you see this situation being made worst still if ILF does close completly?
Many Thanks - Taggy
Hi Taggy just I would give thoughts as an ILF user myself who works in disability field. I come across several people who would have been elegible and are struggling on a very small personal budget from their LA. |They are not able to get the upgraded needed amount from their LA (I know the difference ILF has made for .Without it I would be in dire straights.
As to what is to happen in 2015 No one seems to know and people on ILF are very fearful. One thought is that ILF will not exist and that the money used for this at present will in the future be given to to the LA to be doled out BUT will it be ring fenced for this use/ will more people be elegible for this pot of money? making the payments given far smalle.
The workloads for SW's will increase as they will be taking over the role of ILF assesors.
