Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
A 12-week property disregard refers to the first twelve weeks where you can receive residential care funded by the local authority.
If you're eligible, the value of your property isn't counted in a financial assessment. This means that your local authority must disregard your property and they will cover the cost of the first 12 weeks of your permanent care home placement.
