Just sort of reviewing my options... all a bit scary.
How does the UK social security system work?
With a married couple is it the 'joint resources' that are 'means tested' for payment for a 'care home' or is it just the personal means of the one who is ill? If for example a house and income were just in my name and almost nothing in Monique's name - would they require me to pay the full amount of the care home?
Do the SS pay for private care homes or only national health care homes?
If the latter what are they like?
Thanks
Michael
