Fri 07-Apr-06 10:54 AM

If the minimum Budgeting Loan has increased from £30 to £100 from April 2006 does this apply to Community Care Grants also.

... just the BL (see Social Fund reform from April 2006; Government announces further changes)

****

.... SF Direction 10 deals with min and max BL awards ... whilst the DWP version of the direction hasn't yet been updated ... the Northern Ireland version has, and now refers to £100.

(nb - Direction 28 on the NI site, which relates to CCG min amounts, confirms that it's still £30)

Thanks for this reply and the one relating to the Savings Credit disregard in Care Homes.
