Health Insurance Fair deal scheme / Financial assessment

[trojan]

I read somewhere that there was a cap on the value of your house and pension which would make you ineligble for the Fair Deal. Does this still apply?

There is a cap on the assessment on your PPR at 7.5% pa for 3 years but I am not aware of a cap on the value to be assessed. However, if the house and/or pension fund are valuable enough, the assessment may be as high as the actual nursing home cost itself.
