In reply to Mary Latter. Not only dementia people are discriminated against. I am 92 years of age. I live alone. I have had to self fund 4 carers for one hour each every day. CHC funding seems to be out of the question because i am not ill - simply disabled. My husband and i both worked and paid all our taxes on the promise that we would be looked after -CRADLE TO GRAVE. I was 16 years old and i remember! my husband cost the government nothing because i was his only carer until he died with cancer. I have paid approximately £86000 already and was hoping 2025 would give me some relief. Fool that i am, I have never trusted any government before, i did have great hopes of a care cap. Silly me!!!

Everything is back to front in this country. Forensic mental health service users get their rehabilitation and integration back into the community paid for by LA funding and paid maximum benefits for many to end up back in prison or secure mental health units. Our elderly, once infirm physically and or mentally by no fault of their own, unlike the for-mentioned, get little if any dignity, support and compromised care and funding in their final years….where’s the fairness??

I’m sorry but care is not free.
In the past, families used to look full-time after their ageing family members. In many countries that’s still the case. If someone has the financial means to pay for their own care and support, why wouldn’t that be appropriate? The state and taxpayers can’t afford providing care to everyone.
And for anyone who says “so and so paid their taxes”, I’d seriously wonder how many paid upwards of £400k of taxes within their lifetime, excluding the portion of their taxes that would have gone to the NHS, education, infrastructure, police, etc.

I know that children see their inheritance fade in front of their eyes, but honestly – sorry, that money was never yours.

In reply to Renee Haines. Please don't tar all unemployed people with the same brush. Whilst there are some who may not want to work, there are those who were working their whole lives, paying taxes and now cannot do so. I am one of those people. I loved my job but lost it through no fault of my own in the blink of an eye and yes, I am now in receipt of benefits, for which I am eternally grateful. It's sad to hear the way the unemployed are talked about. I apparently have gone from being an upstanding member of society to the dregs. There are many issues at play here, do not target ALL the unemployed, many of us have lost more than you'll ever understand.

This doesn’t surprise me, and the previous government’s postponements struck me as as precursor to it being scrapped anyway.

I recommend that married couples arrange with a solicitor to be made tenants in common for their house. That way if one partner dies and the surviving partner needs to self finance care, the deceased partner’s estate still goes to the beneficiaries in the will.

I have no children to inherit my house, so at some point during early-to-mid retirement, I will also be looking to cash in some of the equity on my house. I might as well enjoy the money and let the council foot the bill. Not very altruistic, but that is how things have become.

Everybody was warned about Labour, but of course nobody wanted to vote Reform UK, as they did not want to be seen to be racist. Well it’s not racist to put the decent hard-working Brits (not the lazy sods) first, and then extend the hand to others who need it (i.e. Asylum & Refugees). Why are we funding hotels at a cost of billions to the tax-payer, and why not speed up asylum seeker applications, and not have people left for years in limbo? I am a British born ethnic minority, who is hard-working, and when I was growing up, it was the immigrants to this country who were hard-working, and helped to make it what it is today. I would also say the Government needs to make menial jobs pay, and pay a salary that people can live on, and make people work for the dole. It’s not rocket science.

The problem with elderly care is it is a heavily weighted political hot potato. I can’t offer any solutions.

In reply to Linda Barnes.

Same shxt.
Different day.
Cheeks of the same backside continuing were the previous cheek left off.
Here’s an idea ? Stop supporting unjust wars and follow the swedes and Netherlands in looking after their people first!!!

The best things to do in this world, is don’t work, live on benefits and then you get everything paid for by the state and get extra payments for winter fuel and care home fees. No wonder there are so many people unemployed and don’t want to work, they have got it made. I am so disappointed in this new labour government, I always thought they were for the working man and have backed them all my life. What about the wealthy when are they going to help the economy?
