19 November 2025 Question ID 043CF8EMS2 – The question stem has been amended to: ‘Fi has capital of £15,500 and a weekly income of £250. Her weekly care costs are £800, and the Personal Expenses Allowance is £30.65. How much will the local authority contribute towards her care?’
Option C has been amended to ‘£575.65’.
The rationale has been amended to:
‘Cost of care £800 + PEA £30.65 = £830.65
Capital tariff income: (£15,500 – £14,250) ÷ £250 = £1,250 ÷ £250 = £5
Total income: £250 + £5 (tariff income) = £255
Local authority contribution = £830.65 – £255 = £ 575.65’
19 September 2025 In the answer table on Page 9, Question 14, the answer has been amended to B; the chapter reference is 3, and the section reference is B5.
