The regulations governing the Housing Aid for Older People Scheme were reviewed and updated in 2014, to ensure the scheme's continued capability to support older people living in their own homes and communities with dignity and independence for as long as possible.  If further details are provided directly to me in relation to the specific circumstances of the case referred to in the details supplied, I will consider further the necessity for a change to the current regulations.
