 | The Government is set to announce on Monday a major change in the way that older people will pay for their social care needs in future. |
Once it comes into force in April 2017, the amount an individual has to pay for care over their lifetime will be capped at £75,000 and the means-test threshold for residential care will be raised to £123,000.
