Government changes rules on social care cap

Government changes rules on social care cap The financial help poorer people get to cover their care will not count towards a new cap on costs, according to updated government plans.

It was announced in September that from 2023 no-one in England would pay more than £86,000 for care.

Now a tweak to the plan has been published, which critics say could see the poorest having to use more of their assets than better off people. BBC News
