ASHE Data 2018 Released
25/10/2018
Today the office of national statistics released the provisional data set for ASHE 6145 & 6146 (6115 equivalent). This is of particular relevance for clients in receipt of Periodical Payments.
Unsurprisingly, the annual costs of care have risen again, and as the data below shows, the annual increases are higher than the Government target for inflation.

Many claimants in receipt of Periodical Payments which are linked to ASHE 6115 (all percentiles) will receive their next payment in December 2018.
The above charts illustrate the importance of obtaining advice prior to settlement, so that as the claimants costs alter each year, so does their Periodical Payment Order.
