Working our way through the fair deal application from for my mother. Aside from some cash and a small amount of shares, the bulk of her assets are the house.

One section on the form mentions "Maintenance Payments to another person". What does this potentially cover?. I know LPT is covered elsewhere on the form but we'll still have to pay insurance, oil (for heating to prevent dampness) and electricity as well as someone to come and cut the grass as neither myself or my siblings live within 200 miles of her. Are those costs deductable.?
 
Absolutely no deductions allowed except for LPT and prescription charges.
Rest assured not even medical insurance is allowed, so NOT a snow ball in hells chance of a grass cutting allowance. Whether you keep the house is Your business, you pay.
 
What about say of someone was under the care of a private hospital consultant?
 
I would consider a private consultants fee to be a doctor's fee so I can’t see why it wouldn't be allowed, but having never claimed it, I don’t know for sure.

Put it in, all they can do is say no.

Would you not be claiming some of the consultants fee back from your private health insurance company, and only the remainder allowed against your income tax? They're hardly going to allow it again against FD
