Looks like the Tories are going to remove the universal entitlement to fuel allowance and include the value of your house in deciding if you should pay towards your social care in old age but the overall amount at which you start paying goes from 23k in assets to 100k (realistically anyone owning a home will have to pay). The cap on the overall amount you spend is being raised too.

People won't have to sell their homes. Schemes will exist where the equity is sold off to be recovered when the person dies.
