This briefing note considers the effects of the government’s proposed amendment to the Care Act, which would mean that means-tested support does not count for an individual’s progress towards the social care cost cap. Our analysis does not compare the government’s proposed system with the existing system (which does not include a cap). Rather, we compare the government’s proposed system with how the new system (including the cap) would work without the proposed amendment to the Care Act.
