Thanks for the clarification, Martine. We didn't encounter either of those scenarios with my mother or mother-in-law, although I can see the reasoning for those rules. It is complex and if one has a sick or infirm relative it can be difficult to focus on unraveling all the relevant stuff. I seem to recall Age Concern have some useful guidance and a phone helpline. The other aggravating thing is there appears at times to be a lack of coordination and communication between the NHS, DWP, and local authority social services and finance departments .... to be fair most of them seem to be struggling with unrealistic work loads - one of my mother's social workers suddenly disappeared off the scence during the period I was trying to find a care home place which didn't help (I'm assuming she went on sick leave, don't think I was responsible!) and the person I found most helpful and competent was the one in the finance department!
