This is very concerning. I assume that a fair proportion of contributors on here are over 65yrs and own their own homes. Guiltily I have tended to bury my head in the sand on this but as time goes on I am getting more worried. It seems that if you have very little means you will be ok but those of us of even only modest means, who have paid our mortgages and saved a couple of bob, could just have it wiped out if we need looking after.
