If you are due to receive, or have recently received compensation for a personal injury, a trust can protect your award without restricting your access to the funds.
Sheltering your award in a trust will ensure you retain your eligibility for means-tested benefits (now and in the future), which includes residential care assessments.
Some examples of means-tested benefits are:
• Income Support
• Income-based Job-Seekers Allowance
• Income related Employment Support Allowance
• Pension Credit
• Housing Benefit
• Council Tax Benefit.
