The current legislation which gives details of exemptions from the PCA, is detailed HERE.

There are no other criteria for being exempt from the PCA other than in the regulations as stated.

So are people on highest rate for care still exempt now that we've got a change of government? I thought they were determined to assess everyone unless they had the medical problems they've listed and being on highest rate care was no longer part of the exemptions.

The Social Security (Incapacity for Work) (General) Regulations 1995 are still in force, until such time that amendment regulations are in place to repeal the existing legislation.

Is it taken as read that the legislation will be changed in the next year? I really expect the government to change everything so it will be a huge surprise to me if HRC continues to be a part of the exemption.
