My father has been in a care home for while now and is basically getting close to the £23.5K threshold for savings which I understand is his to keep.

I've applied on his behalf to the local Adult Social Services but they are very very slow and I'm suspecting he will need to go under this amount before they even assess him.

Has anyone been through this before? If he continues to fund his care will ASC repay him up to the threshold?
