Requesting Advice

You have reached this page because you feel that you may not need to consider financial advice on your current care requirements.

In order to qualify for full funding of your nursing or residential care by your local authority, the total value of your savings, capital any property and other assets you own must be below the Lower Threshold limits in the table below:

Each £250 (or part thereof) of assets/capital you own between the Lower and Upper Threshold is classified as equivalent to you having £1.00 per week of income for financial assessment purposes.

If the total value of your assets is above the Upper Threshold you will be liable for your own care costs in entirety, less any non-means tested benefits such as Attendance Allowance. However, in Scotland a flat rate of £145 is payable, regardless of means.
