Will Lincolnshire council pay for home care?
It can. Step one is the needs assessment: Lincolnshire council cannot charge for it and must offer it to every person who seems to need support (Care Act 2014). If your savings and investments come to under £23,250, it may then contribute following a financial assessment, depending on income, and for care in your own home the property is left out. Separately, Attendance Allowance has no means test. Getting in touch with Lincolnshire council.
