Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

When you deliberately reduce the amount of savings or property you have, in order to qualify for help from your council with paying for care costs or for various benefits. Your council may judge that you have deliberately reduced your assets if it believes that you knew you would probably need care and support.
