Residential Accommodation

If you are going into residential care on a trial basis, to see if it would suit you as a permanent home, Benefit can be paid for up to 13 weeks, so long as you intend to return to your home if you decide that the residential care is not suitable, and your home has not been let or sub-let.

 

If you are going into residential accommodation to receive temporary care or nursing, but intend to return home, we can continue to pay your Benefit for up to 52 weeks.
