Morning everyone
I have arranged my dads first care worker visit (well cleaner to him) .
The care Manager advised that I can now claim for attendance allowance, so I have downloaded the form, my god thats a beast of a form!!
I have read a lot of posts on the subject from you lovely people that know what they are doing and a lot of you mention the "phrases" and "wording" have to be correct.
Can I kindly ask for some examples please?
for example, he no longer washes his self, his clothes, his hair.
Does not clean his flat
I have a feeling he's wetting the bed, as the sheets were wet Friday when I changed his bed.
He cant change his bed.
He wears the same clothes day in day out
Cannot use any technology including the TV
Cannot understand what he reads any more
Cannot write
Cannot do any paperwork at all
Cannot wash his clothes
Cannot shave correctly anymore and is very hit and miss
I help him with shopping, food, milk, laundry, hair, the flat, cleaning, paperwork etc etc
I am ringing age uk tomorrow for advise.
but would love some advise from those that have claimed, I hope to get the lower rate, which I will use to pay for his carer "cleaner"
sorry for asking lots of questions recently, I just want to get this all sorted out and get this claim done correctly for him.
I will be doing it on his behalf as his POA. I have told him I am going to try and claim and he likes the idea as it saves his money. But if he reads what I have written so far he would deny any issues
Regards
Angie
