Yes i know cashy it is the system that is at fault and always will be. The system is the vouchers - 1 voucher = 4 hrs care or 1 night plus £8 for stopping in a care home. oh and if you do have carers in the morning or at night or during the day you have to pay towards that as well. DLA is supposed to pay for the care. But how many people who get DLA use that and pay extra out of their benefits to pay for the care they receive. They dont receive enough to pay for their care. By the way it was £8 when mum was alive - i dont know how much it is now thats what it was when i paid it.
