12. Reimbursement rate
The reimbursement rate for services starting within the TCA's area of Lancashire County
Council, Blackburn with Darwen Council and Blackpool Council will be
56% from 1 April
2013 and 55% from 1 April 2014. This rate includes all elements of reimbursement and
additional costs.
Should an operator appeal against this rate in relation to additional costs or otherwise
submit a separate claim for additional costs, then the TCAs reserve the right to recalculate
the reimbursement rate for that operator as it has been applied for whatever
period the TCAs consider to be reasonable and offset any over-payment arising from the
application of reimbursement rate set out herein against the sum due to the operator in
relation to its claim for additional costs.
