Legal Guide and FAQs for ILF Users and Other People with High Support Needs

This guide has been written to help Independent Living Fund ( ILF) users understand legal and practical issues about community care assessments and support and how it will apply to them following the closure of the ILF in June 2015.

It is also aimed at other adults with high support needs who may not have had support from ILF. The guide has been prepared by Kate Whittaker, consultant solicitor at Scott-Moncrieff & Associates and a trustee at Disability Sheffield together with ILF users, Inclusion London and Disability Sheffield Centre for Independent Living.

Individuals and local groups are welcome to re-use extracts and are free to copy it and send it round by email. If extracts of the paper are used in other publications please state that the content was taken from this guide. View Guide
