If the customer and/or their partner have capital over £8000 (£12,000 for people aged 60 or over, £20,500 for people permanently in residential care/nursing homes) they will not qualify for any of the below on "low income" grounds:
Someone may still be exempt from a charge due to a medical condition, or age.
Capital of £3,000 or less (£6,000 for people aged 60 or over) will make no difference to the amount of help the customer may receive.
Any capital from £3,000.01 up to and including £8,000.00 will affect any benefit to which they may be entitled. For people aged 60 or over any capital from £6,000.01 up to and including £12,000.00 will affect any benefit to which they may be entitled.
For people permanently in residential care/nursing homes any capital from £12,500.01 up to and including £20,500 will affect any benefit to which they may be entitled.
