A maximum daily accommodation payment (DAP) accrues daily and is paid periodically, for example monthly.

As well as an accommodation payment you will also be asked to pay daily fees which contribute towards your daily living costs such as nursing and personal care, meals, linen and laundry, and heating and cooling. Daily fees are comprised of two parts:

• basic daily care fee which is set by the government at 85% of the full pension,
• an additional means tested care fee which is payable depending on assets and income of the resident.
