Mother inherited money while in a care home

Flowerfairy34 · 2016-09-17 20:59:04

My mother has unexpectedly inherited a substantial amount of money but she is in a care home funded by the council. Should this be declared to the council or could she gift some of it?

I think assessed income periods cease for people for changes after 6 April 2016 if certain changes occur, notably a person goes into a care home.
