Martino & All Reader’s Living in Scotland, (although our friends down south are welcome to read it and contribute to it).
Frank’s Law is named after Frank Kopel, who was a well known Dundee United football player who suffered from Dementia and was charged by his local council authority for personal care.
His wife and various other Disability Bodies have campaigned against charging what was known as the Care Tax in Scotland and eventually won the right for anyone under retirement age to have the same right as pensioners who are not charged for personal care.
The Law was changed, to allow for people under pension age to get free personal care from 1st April 2019 in Scotland, for people who receive Self Directed Support. It was/is known as Frank’s Law after Frank Kopel.
However I shall start an “Off Topic” section on Frank’s Law. later tonight. The Good & Bad News.
