Overview:
There is no doubt that deferred payment agreements are a valuable public service. They can prevent residents from being forced to sell their home to meet their cost of care, as well as providing the council with a secure lending option. However, there are huge variations in DPA sign ups across the country, as well as a general lack of awareness among residents, and inconsistencies in the level of admin fees between local authorities.
