It has to be dealt with. And one of the things I actually do admire May for doing was at least attempting to start sorting this issue out. The 'dementia tax' needed a bit of tweaking, but we need to be honest with ourselves...we cannot afford to offer pensioners the world on a plate
The 'dementia tax' would have enabled people to keep £100K to hand down to their kids, unlike the £23K they can now.
