Giving with one hand; taking away with the other:

while disabled benefits recipients will have been happy with an extra £400 for those who rely on care at home, for the 16th year running capital limits in care payments (related to recipients' savings) have not been increased.

This sort of fiscal drag is more widely perceived as a stealth tax rise, but here is a stealth disability benefits reduction & an incentive not to save for care!
