In order to provide an income of £35 per week from capital of £8,750 (i.e £22,250 less £13,500) would require a net investment return of 20.8% per annum.

This is clearly significantly above the rates of return which can be expected on a regular and consistent basis and therefore erosion of capital will occur in meeting this requirement.

CareAware would strongly recommend that specialist advice is taken to minimise the effect of this situation.
