In 2006-07, a stakeholder group convened by the Department of Health to consider the residential charging arrangements raised a number of issues about the charging regulations and guidance. This consultation seeks views on 4 of these issues and specifically on potential amendments to the National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) Regulations 1992, the National Assistance (Residential Accommodation) (Additional Payments and Assessment of Resources) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2001, the National Assistance (Residential Accommodation) (Relevant Contributions) (England) Regulations 2001 and the Charges for Residential Accommodation Guidance (CRAG). The consultation is about changes to the charging regulations regarding: the treatment of personal injury compensation, the treatment of single premium investment bonds, the introduction of a new disregard for pre-paid funeral plans, and deferred self top-ups during the 12 week property disregard. Responses are also sought regarding impact and equality impact of the proposals. The consultation document states that it is anticipated that these changes, on balance, will not have a significant impact on local authority budgets. The consultation period runs until 23 April 2010.
