Partnership Assurance has completed its merger with Just Retirement creating JRP Group plc.

Just Retirement and Partnership have announced a merger deal.

Two-thirds (66%) of advisers have said their clients are 'concerned' about the potential cost of funding long-term care, according to a survey by Blackrock.

The Health Select Committee has called for social care at the end of life to be made free to avoid people dying in hospital.

Advice about long term care (LTC) needs is expected by 27% of consumers to be covered as part of the Pension Wise service, research for Partnership found.

The government has announced a consultation on the implementation of the Care Act 2014 which contains the laws for the Dilnot cap on long-term care costs.

Partnership has responded to the figures from the union GMB showing that 10% of those in care will live long enough to activate the Dilnot cap.

Consumers may have to spend all or more of the value of their home before reaching the level of the care cap, research from Partnership has found.

The Health Committee report on Social Care is making recommendations having failed to understand the technicalities behind the Dilnot Report, Partnership has said.
