Minimum income guarantee

Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

A way of keeping some of your income when you have to pay for all or some of the care you receive in your own home. When the council carries out a financial assessment, it must make sure that your care costs do not cause your income to fall below a certain level. There is a different arrangement if you live in a care home, where you will have a personal expenses allowance.
