Aims

Deferred Payment Agreements England contains data taken from the Deferred Payment Agreements (DPA) return to provide information regarding the number and associated £ value of Adult Social Care Deferred Payment Agreements in England. A DPA is a loan from their local council that homeowners can use to pay for their care or nursing home. The loan value is taken against the value of their home via a legal charge so that they do not have to sell their home immediately.
