Hi Gill, just found this in the Standards of Almshouse Management:
11.10.11 The charity should not accept any WMC (see section 9) from the resident after the date on which the
appointment comes to an end. If the resident is paying by standing order or direct debit, arrangements
should be made for the standing order or direct debit to be terminated. If the resident is in receipt of
housing benefit and/or local housing allowance which is paid direct to the charity, the charity should
inform the Local Authority that no further payments are to be made.
So it seems it’s not in the notice period, but after the date when the appointment comes to an end.
