As part of my wife's claim for Attendance Allowance I was asked by DWP to send a certified copy of the LPA I hold for her and for which I act as attorney. Since doing so I have become the recipient of correspondence that would previously have been addressed to my wife eg notification of her entitlement to AA and her winter fuel payment. This isn't a problem as the money still goes into her separate account, but it does raise a question of how, based on the paperwork I sent them, DWP has made the decision that my wife is not competent to receive such things in her own right. Compared to the hoops others have had to jump through with banks and other organisations this seems almost too easy.
