Anyone with assets between the capital limits will be expected to contribute towards the cost of their care from their income, but if that is not sufficient, they will contribute no more than 20% of their chargeable assets per year. Those with £20,000 or less will pay what they can afford from their income only, leaving their assets fully protected. These changes allow for an increase in number of people who benefit directly from state support in the social care system from around half to two thirds in the long term.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall grouped question UIN HL2650 question first answered 29/09/2021 15:20:48 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall
