Wrathmonk,
That is only true if you go into a Care Home. However, many elderly folk are cared for in their own homes. This new Death Tax for those suffering from dementia will now have to pay from not only their savings, but also now include their house equity down to their last 100K. So, someone with early onset dementia could end up paying hundreds of thousands for this care in their own homes.
Whereas, someone living in a council house would have their care paid for them. It does seem rather unfair. It would be better to add the cost to National Insurance
I may have to do the unthinkable.. Vote Labour for the first time in my life!
It would appear that all Politicians have gone bonkers..
