I have an elderly lady who is fully funded in a nursing home by the NHS under Continuing Health Care funding. She has just her SRP and a bit of tariff income from capital and is getting some Pension Credit. I think this is correct, but her appointee (son) is anxious, worrying that the 'all found' situation she's in is equivalent to income from the NHS.
In fairness of course, she doesn't really need PC at all, but I reckon she's just lucky. No doubt if they've got the sense not to give her an AIP, capital will grow and eventually tariff income will extinguish PC !
Am I right about current PC entitlement ?
