Just gets to the point more people end up in debt to the local authority for the charges. People getting up yo and over 20k of debt. Then it’s the Social worker/care officers role to chase the debt

Tim £14,250 is the point you start paying capital tariff. Even if you have zero in savings you may still have to contribute from your income. It isn’t free for anyone unless they are s117 or fully health funded or have been assessed as nil fee.

Perhaps we could look at this from a different angle (I write as a 75-year-old retired social worker) as I understand it if I have less than £14,000 worth of savings all social care, domestic or.residential is free.
If I am in need of any of those services why would I need £14,000 in the bank?
The only reason I can think of is that my offspring want to benefit from my death ,for the record my loved ones have benefited (financially) from my life I take the view that delayed gratification is a good thing but only if you are still young enough to enjoy it!
I know this is a simplistic view and for the record I have a decent pension, I do own my own house and I do have a lot less than £14,000 savings
I do accept that if I was in rented accommodation this would alter my perspective drastically
Anyone else want to discuss?

This also means that more people will lose the right to require a local authority to meet eligible needs through the provision of residential care. Section 8.56 of the Care and Support Statutory Guidance states: “People with eligible needs and financial assets above the upper capital limit may ask the local authority to meet their needs… Where the person asks the local authority to meet their eligible needs, and it is anticipated that their needs will be met by a care home placement, then the local authority may choose to meet their needs, but is not required to do so”.

I support people with a learning disability both in our residential home and also in our supported living houses. How can the PEA at £30.65 be considered fair or realistic for those in a residential setting. If we think about what an individual might need to purchase – clothes and shoes / toiletries / sweet treats / a birthday gift for a relative – this small sum does not go very far. Compared to those who live in supported living this is so unfair and unbalanced – and almost discriminatory. This makes me very cross.
