Understanding the Income Tested Fee

One of the most misunderstood components of the Home Care Package process is the Income Tested Fee (ITF). At CareAbout, we speak to people every single day who are having difficulty making sense of this fee.
This fee goes directly towards your own care services and is determined by the amount of money you make each year. The more money you make, the higher your fee will be. Full pensioners and low-income earners are exempt from paying this fee.
There are also daily, annual and lifetime caps on the income tested fee.
