answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2021 answer text <p>Under the Care Act 2014, charging for care is based on a number of principles including that people should not be charged more than it is reasonably practicable for them to pay. In assessing what someone can afford to pay for care, a local authority must ensure that in addition to the minimum guaranteed income or personal expenses allowance, people retain enough of their income so they have sufficient funds to meet those needs not being met by the local authority.</p><p>The purpose of these means tests is to avoid social deprivation. The next review of the allowance – the point at which an assessment would be made – is due in January 2022.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 23/06/2021 11:57:02 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately previous answer version 4621 answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
