Article preview: A new report from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) has proposed a change to the system of means testing for adult social care which would make some financial products exempt. The proposal comes ahead of the much-anticipated publication of a government green paper on adult social care funding. Following the addition of the Care Act 2014 to the statute book, a number of care funding reforms were delayed, with a green paper instead promised to set out new options. One of the planned reforms was to change how means testing applied to those needing local authority financial support for their care costs.
