I'm really confused.......sorry for hijacking this thread but how is your Mother's money building up if she's on full NHS funding? I thought full NHS funding meant that as long as the person had funds under £14, 250 and they had no property or other assets, they would only make a contribution based on their regular income for the future? For example, my Mother has gone into an 'assisted' living situation (due to mental health issues) and is receiving single persons state pension plus pension credit (no private pension, nothing else). Although she qualifies for full funding as per savings lower than the threshold etc, she has to contribute all of her weekly income (pension and pension credit) except for £23.50 which she is allowed for personal allowance. So, am I right in thinking she doesn't have full funding then?
