What documents do I need for a Fair Deal application?
You need proof of the person's net weekly income, bank and other financial statements covering the last six months, and valuations of any property and significant assets — all in the name of the person going into care.
Six months of statements is the standard the current form works to. Everything is about the finances of the person going into care, not the family member filling in the form.
Getting the evidence set complete before you submit matters because the HSE arranges the assessment process after it receives a completed application, and Fair Deal funding cannot be backdated.
FairPath generates a situation-specific evidence checklist to help you check the application before it is submitted.
