Have your say on how we pay for care
Dear Ms removed by me .
Many of us need to access social care as we get older. This can include help with tasks such as washing, dressing, getting in and out of bed, and going to the toilet. But paying for this care can be catastrophically expensive and thousands of older people face losing everything to pay for the support they need.
From April 2016, the way we pay for care is changing. The Government wants to know what you think about setting a cap of £72,000 on what someone pays towards their care.

However, things aren’t that simple. The cap is far higher than the one originally proposed by the official Dilnot Commission in 2011, and there are a number of restrictions in counting what goes towards the cap.
The Government is now consulting on how the new cap will work. We want to make sure they hear the views of as many people as possible. Now is the time to have your say.
Thank you,
