I know Connie , I also Just don't understand the system.
Its like I always thought if you own your own property they would except you to pay for all the adaption for a shower unit , then I found out that SS would pay for it .
Its all like now when you go to university no matter what your parents income is High or Low , your still going to have to pay all the university fee back . once you start working , on Top of all the student loans you get .
where before you did not if your parents earn under 20k a year . ( university fee back )
They done it like that to make it more far , for those parents that earn just over the 20k a year and could not get the fees payed
but if you go to your university & apply for a grant ( mean tested ) its all first come first served ( don't have to pay it back ) if you don't get your application in fast the money gone .
Just like that carer grant ( if you get my point ) even thought you don't pay it back . ( they a pot of money they , they Just don't tell you about) so if you leave it all to late , because you did not know the money gone .
Maybe the carer Grant is mean tested like if you have saving over 18k
