Following an investigation by MSE in January 2026, 69 councils across England and Wales have corrected misleading information on their websites regarding qualification criteria for this discount. The investigation, titled ‘councils that couldn’t Care less,’ revealed that one in five councils provided incorrect or incomplete details about the live-in Carer discount—a support scheme that has been available since eligibility was expanded in 2013.
