Plans to cap the amount of money people in England and Wales spend on their social care could be jeopardised by a lack of funding, councils say.
Reforms to the adult social care system will cap the amount some people pay towards their care at £72,000 and allow them to apply for council funding.
But a poll of 152 councils in England - where changes come into force in April - found 134 had concerns over costs.
The government said councils were getting extra money to fund the change.
