Petition Raise old aged pensioners personal expenses allowance from £24.90 a week to £50
Once a person goes into a care home the Government takes away their private pension, their state pension and any other money they have and allows them just £24.90 a week. That has to pay for everything from clothes and toiletries, to small treats like having hair done or the odd day trip out.
