On entering a care home and receiving 'full continuing care' allowance,what becomes of my state pension, is it stopped or reduced?
My response:
Here is link to the Directgov governmental website which covers the topic in detail - Care homes and benefits.
The important part is the section on State Pensions which states:
'Moving into a home will not affect your State Pension but it will be counted as income when your contribution to your fees is assessed'.
I hope that helps and good luck
Best wishes
Damo
