PENSION CREDIT AND CARE HOME RESIDENTS

Early day motion 130, tabled 26 November 2003 by Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 85 members.

That this House deplores the fact that people in care homes, unlike in any other setting, are not able to see the full value of their pension credit because the charging regulations only permit them to keep a maximum of ú4.50 per week; and calls on the Government to ensure that those in care homes supported by local authorities, who saved for their older age, have this recognised in full, up to the maximum possible savings credit award of ú14.79 per week.
