If I complete the self-assessment, am I automatically entitled to services?

No, people with needs that fall outside the Social Services eligibility criteria do not have any right to receive social care support. You are entitled to social care services only if we agree that you qualify for support.

In some cases, if you qualify for support but have higher needs we will ask you to have a full assessment before services are provided. This is to ensure we have all the information we need in order to give someone all the support they require.
