Question 4

Am I entitled to any funding?

Accepted Answer

This is based on the income or capital you have, this is the total amount of your savings, any property you own and any shares you might have:   The capital limit currently sits at £50,000 in Wales, as opposed to £23,250 in England.  If your capital limit exceeds £50,000, the Local Authority will require you to contribute to the cost of your care; if under this limit, then the Local Authority will likely cover the cost of care.
