Pension Credit Savings Credit disregard (residential care)
Tue 11-Mar-08 07:56 AM

Hello there. I am trying to find the April 2008 amount of Savings Credit which can be disregarded when someone enters residential care. Does anyone know where I can look. Have already tried DoH site. Thank you.

in scotland its going to be £5.45 in the case of a single person, and £8.15 in the case of a resident with a partner.

see rightsnet news story Benefits and support in residential care in Scotland: New statutory instruments

.. haven't seen regs for england yet ... but last year they increased to the same amount as in scotland
