Did you know that when a local authority assesses someone's need for long-term care and support, they also consider their financial situation? As part of this assessment, the value of both savings and property is considered. However, there鈥檚 an incredible provision that can make a real difference for individuals in need...
For the first twelve weeks of care, the local authority will completely disregard the value of the person's property. This means that if someone requires funding for their care, they have a window of opportunity to explore options for generating revenue from their property without it affecting their eligibility for support.
During these twelve weeks, individuals can consider various possibilities, such as selling their property or renting it out to tenants, to secure the necessary funds. It's an invaluable chance to explore all avenues and make informed decisions regarding their care.
This policy, known as the "Twelve Week Property Disregard," demonstrates a compassionate approach to supporting individuals during a challenging time. It recognizes the importance of empowering people to make choices that can positively impact their lives and ensure the best possible care for their well-being.
If you or someone you know is navigating the complexities of long-term care and support, make sure to inquire about the Twelve Week Property Disregard. It could provide a crucial opportunity to explore financial options and secure the care needed.
