Yesterday I was at the LGG (Local Government Group) where Andrew Dilnot presented his report on Adult Social Care. He has chaired a commission looking into the future funding of care and support and has proposed a number of changes to be made especially around how people will have to pay. Currently there is an asset threshold of £23,250 above which you have to fully fund care needs. It is proposed to increase this limit to £100,000. It is also proposed that people should not have to pay more than £35,000 towards their costs in their lifetime. The stumbling block at the moment is how this will be paid for in the future. You can read the full report here.
