1.1 What is the Deferred Payment scheme? Under Section 34 of the Care Act, a universal Deferred Payment scheme has been established. A deferred payment scheme allows the person entering into it to delay making some or all of their payments to the Local Authority for the Care and Support services they receive.
A deferred payment is one that is delayed, either completely or in part, in order to give the person or business making the payment more time to meet their financial obligations. In accounting terms, any merchant allowing customers to set up a deferred payment agreement will be dealing with accrued revenue.
You may be able to get a deferred payment agreement if: • you own your own home • you live in a care home or you're moving to one soon • you have less than £23,250 savings and investments, not including your home. The amount you can defer depends on how much your home is worth, so we'll arrange to have it valued.

A deferred payment is an agreement between a creditor (or lender) and debtor (or borrower) where payment is delayed until a future date.
