Quick answer, No (but that applies anywhere in the UK depending on circumstance)tracey2104 wrote: »my grans hubby in home at mo,does she pay for it???
Ask her, I'm not sure how anyone on here is going to know your gran's financial arrangements.I've given up trying to get my signature to work with the new rules, if nobody knows what the rules are what hope do we have?0 -

It depends on income and savings. In Scotland, no one has to pay for the part of care home costs which are for personal or nursing care, but if they have enough income/capital will have to pay for the costs of accommodation. These can be a lot.0 -

In addition they are not eligible for attendance allowance, a non-means-tested benefit which pays for (part of) the cost of personal care..Trying to keep it simple...

Why are they not, Ed? One would think that they qualify for it just by virtue of being in there, and that it would be put to good use by paying for (part of) their personal care.[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Æ[/FONT]r ic wisdom funde, [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]æ[/FONT]r wear[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ð[/FONT] ic eald.

Yes, I forgot that attendance allowance is stopped after 4 weeks. Unless, for some reason, they choose not to receive free personal care. Receipt of nursing care alone doesn't disqualify from attendance allowance.0
