Has anyone persued a claim to receive 'gross' interest from savings for someone in care?
Mums only income is a small pension, attendance allowance and mid range nursing fees. It seems daft for her to be taxed on savings.
Also, does anyone know if this is based on he married couples income if they are in separate homes. Dad has a higher armed forces pension and is not entitled to the claim for gross interest from savings.
I've started searching e.g.
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Diol1/DoItOnline/DG_4017954
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/pensioners/claimingback.htm
but it is so unclear where we stand.
Though someone out there has been through the same process and may be able to help
thanks
