Going to sign forms for permanent care this morning-after my sister has read them through as my brain is mush!
Feel lousy-know it's best all round but I miss the real man so much; know he's not there though. Already worrying about what will happen in 15 months when his money runs out...but I'll tackle that one then!
Thank you all for your support/advice-has really helped.xx
Are you claiming Attendance Allowance for your hubby sah? If you are self funding, he won't lose this, and if he had DLA before he was 65, including the Mobility Component, he'll still get both. Also, you can get a Council Tax reduction of 25%, backdated, in respect of the person with Alzheimer's, and this can then be converted to Single Person's Reduction.
If I can be of any help with Care Home financial advice, allowances etc, Care Home fees, top up fees (I could have been a contestant on Mastermind with this as my specialist subject ), please do not hesitate to PM me.
