Hi, its me again lol. Same issue really, but wondered if anybody out there has managed to self fund at the same rate as the LA. According to the citizens advice that is not an option, and that our extra bit is used to subsidise those that do not self fund. My dad is healthy in every way apart from alzheimers and is one of the easiest to look after, wondered whether I could use that as a form of expressing my disgust at having to pay the extra. If there is just one person out there that has managed this then there is hope.
