Hi, am reading through information on the site but have a long way to go. Am I right in thinking that I don't qualify for middle rate care if I don't need help during the night?
I would sleep in my clothes if i wasn't prompted but prompting would be about 11.30pm (night) and wouldnt take the suggested 20 mins.
I will stop trying if this means I don't qualify because I am wasting my time.

There are three rates of care component depending on how your disability affects you:-
Lowest rate If you need help or supervision for some of the day or you are unable to prepare a cooked main meal.
Middle rate If you need help with personal care frequently or supervision continually throughout the day only, or help with personal care or someone to watch over you during the night only, or someone with you while you are on dialysis.
Highest rate If you need help or supervision frequently throughout the day and during the night.
