Well, Hello TP Community - after a long break away! I have been so much occupied one way and another that I haven't posted for ages.... but here I am inevitably with a query.
My wife has been resident in a Care Home in Hampshire for just over a year. I am very happy with the Care - and funding has finally recently been agreed from Social Services with Top-up from me. For family reasons (I am in need of greater support) I would like to move both of us to Worcestershire.
My initial enquiries to Hants met with the response that they won't transfer her funding with her - and Worcs indicate that as this would be my decision they will not pick up any of the funding! I made it clear to Hants that I would not expect them to increase the funding - just carry on and I would pick up any extra Top-up needed.
Has anyone please got any recent experience of moving county /funding?
Thanks!
