Dad in care home

[Moonblue87]

Hi , my dads been in a care home 4 weeks and we completed the financial assessment forms 7 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything
My dad’s savings are less than £23,500 however he owns a car which we understand isn’t means means tested . At the moment it’s outside his property not being used I’m keen to sell but Im not sure it’s the right thing to do until the financial assessment is completed
Any advice please ?

Well how much is the car worth? Any chance the money from the sale would tip him over the £23k threshold? If there is then I'd wait until the assessments been done. Otherwise get on and sell it.
