What is the Personal Expenses Allowance?

The Personal Expenses Allowance (PEA) ensures that individuals in care homes keep a minimum amount of money each week for personal use. Even if your carer is receiving Carer’s Allowance on your behalf, you’re still entitled to retain your Personal Expenses Allowance to cover essentials like clothing, toiletries, or treats.
