Adult social care charging reform: minimum viable product (MVP) software requirements specification

The cap on care costs protects people from unpredictable care costs by limiting the costs a person in England will need to face to meet their eligible care and support needs in their lifetime. From October 2023 the cap will be set at £86,000. After this an annual review will determine changes to the cap based on inflation.
