Does anyone know this stuff.
And what if the wife lives for another 20 years or so...will the govt keep a record of what's owed for his care and then claim it as soon as she dies?

And what about their joint savings? Say they had £40k in the bank and his care cost £200K....do the govt take all the savings and then wait for the outstanding £160K from the house sale? Or do they take £20k when he dies, leaving her with half the savings?

I can see this becoming a huge administrative mess....they've already shown that they're failing to collect the student university loans from large numbers.
