As any adviser will tell you, it is about creating a need. Without demand, no adviser, however good he or she is, will be able to sell a protection policy and an LTCI is no different. Right now, the demand is, at best, limited and even though people are beginning to understand implications of social care costs they are also being told that the maximum extent of their personal contribution is £86,000.
