Last year, 20,000 pensioners, an average of 60 a day, were forced to sell their homes in order to pay for residential care. At present, the law states that if you require care and have assets worth more than £23,500, you pay for the personal care you receive.

Beverley Well Beaten by Birkenhead

Dexter Scores Two As Hodgsons Move 9 Points Clear
A Jordan Dexter brace gave Hodgsons all three points at Hull Road, on Saturday afternoon. The performance was not vintage and at times the away side had to endure plenty of Withernsea possession.

Both Adam Foster and Jordan Dexter just could not find the…
