Gratuitous care

These are regular monthly payments made to parents usually following the settlementĀ of the case, or sometimes during interim if required. They cover the care of the injured child and ongoing for the child’s life.

It is Tax-free and not guaranteed for life. It should be reviewed and increased annually in line with inflation.
